브레이크뉴스 문홍철 기자= 코로나19로 인해 채용문이 좁아지고 취업에 대한 절박함이 커지면서 많은 구직자들이 자소서 작성법, 면접 전략, 이미지 메이킹 등 ‘취업 사교육’에 눈을 돌리고 있다. 사교육 지출 비용도 크게 증가하는 등 구직자들의 ‘사교육 의존도’가 높아지고 있는 것.
13일 사람인에 따르면 구직자 1061명을 대상으로 ‘취업 사교육 현황’에 대해 조사한 결과, 27.9%가 취업 사교육을 받은 경험이 있다고 답했다. 이는 지난해(18.3%)보다 10%p 가까이 증가한 수치다.
연간 취업 사교육에 드는 비용 역시 증가했다. 연간 588만원을 사용한 것으로 집계돼, 지난해 조사 결과 420만원 보다 168만원이나 상승한 것. 채용문이 갈수록 좁아지면서 많은 구직자들이 취업 사교육에 더욱 힘을 쏟고 있는 것으로 풀이된다.
실제, 응답자 10명 중 7명(66.9%)가 코로나 사태 이후 구직난 때문에 취업 사교육에 더 매진하고 있다고 답했다.
이와 관련, 전체 응답자의 76.2%는 ‘취업 사교육’을 받으면 취업 성공 확률이 높아진다고 답했다.
또한, 사교육이 취업 성공에 미치는 영향력은 절반 이상으로, 51% 수준으로 평가했다. 작은 차이로 합격, 불합격이 나뉘는 채용 전형 특성을 생각하면 상당한 수치인 것.
사교육이 취업 성공에 영향을 미치는 이유로는 ‘유용한 정보들을 얻을 수 있어서’(62.4%)가 1위를 차지했고, ‘빠른 시간 내 효과적으로 준비할 수 있어서’(61.1%)가 바로 뒤를 이었다. 이외에도 ‘혼자 짚어 내기 어려운 부분을 알 수 있어서’(49.3%), ‘불안감을 줄이는데 도움이 돼서’(26.1%), ‘강사, 업계 종사자 등 인맥을 쌓을 수 있어서’(14.4%) 등이었다.
한편, 취준생들이 취업 성공을 위해 주로 받은 사교육 분야는 ‘자격증 관련 교육’(47.3%)이었다. 다음으로 ‘직무 관련 전문교육’(33.4%), ‘취업 컨설팅’(28.4%), ‘토익 등 공인 외국어 시험’(23.3%), ‘자소서 작성 교습’(21.3%), ‘면접 스피치, 이미지 메이킹’(18.2%), ‘인적성, 필기시험 대비’(11.8%) 순이었다.

Unprecedented job shortage due to COVID-19.. Reliance on private education for employment has increased
-Reporter Moon Hong-cheol
As the number of job openings is narrowed due to COVID-19 and the urgency to find a job grows, many job seekers are turning their attention to 'private employment education' such as how to write a cover letter, interview strategy, and image making. The cost of private education has also increased significantly, indicating that job seekers' dependence on private education is increasing.
According to Sarain on the 13th, as a result of a survey of 1,061 job seekers on the ‘status of private tutoring for employment’, 27.9% answered that they had experience of private tutoring for employment. This is an increase of nearly 10 percentage points from last year (18.3%).
The annual cost of private training for employment has also increased. It is counted that they used 5.88 million won a year, which is a 1.68 million won increase from last year's survey of 4.2 million won. It is interpreted that as the number of job openings is getting narrower, many job seekers are putting more effort into private training for employment.
In fact, 7 out of 10 respondents (66.9%) said that they are focusing more on private education for employment due to the difficulty in finding a job after the corona crisis.
In this regard, 76.2% of the total respondents answered that if they receive 'employment private education', the probability of successful employment increases.
In addition, the influence of private education on employment success was evaluated to be more than half, at the level of 51%. Considering the characteristics of the recruitment process, where pass and fail are divided by small differences, this is a considerable number.
As for the reason that private education had an effect on job success, 'because it was possible to obtain useful information' (62.4%) took the first place, and 'because it was possible to prepare effectively in a short time' (61.1%) immediately followed. In addition, 'because it was possible to understand parts that were difficult to pinpoint alone' (49.3%), 'because it helped to reduce anxiety' (26.1%), and 'because it was possible to build networks such as lecturers and industry workers' (14.4%).
On the other hand, the field of private education that trainees received mainly for job success was ‘certificate-related education’ (47.3%). Next, 'job-related professional education' (33.4%), 'employment consulting' (28.4%), 'approved foreign language test such as TOEIC' (23.3%), 'instructions to write cover letter' (21.3%), 'interview speech, image making' '(18.2%) followed by 'personality, preparation for the written test' (11.8%).
