The Largest Ever Busan Transportation Corporation Recruitment Exam... Examinees Tremble with Anxiety

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jonghyo] Busan Transportation Corporation, which is preparing for the largest-ever open recruitment of new employees, has not issued any statements regarding the novel coronavirus infection (Wuhan pneumonia), causing increased anxiety among examinees.

Busan Transportation Corporation is recruiting a total of 670 people across 15 job categories, including operations, driving, and civil engineering. The application deadline is February 6, and the exam will be held on the 23rd.

With the recruitment exam just over 20 days away, Busan Transportation Corporation has not released any specific plans or announcements related to the exam. The biggest concern among examinees is whether those showing infection symptoms or confirmed cases will be able to take the exam as scheduled.

Job seeker Kang Mo (33) said, “I am more worried about not being able to take the exam than the virus infection itself, but it is frustrating that I cannot find any information.” Lee Mo (27) also expressed concern, saying, “I try to avoid crowded places because of infection worries, but I cannot avoid going to the exam venue. I wonder how many examinees will voluntarily disclose their infection status, and if they do not, how will it be detected?”

However, the possibility of changing the exam schedule seems low. A current employee of Busan Transportation Corporation said, “I understand that during the MERS outbreak, the exam was held without changing the date. Since there is a precedent, it seems the exam will be held as scheduled this time as well.”

A representative of Busan Transportation Corporation stated, “There is still time until the exam date, so we are internally discussing response measures. Once the specific exam locations are decided, individual notifications will be sent via text message.”
