Try Part-Time Jobs to Earn Tuition and Help Residents!

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Kim, a university student living in Geumcheon-gu, took a leave of absence this year to earn tuition for the next semester and started working part-time at a restaurant.

However, due to the unexpected spread of COVID-19 and the resulting economic downturn, he had to quit the part-time job unwillingly.

Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yuseonghun) is recruiting ‘COVID-19 Response University Student (Leave of Absence) Part-time Workers’ from March 17 to 25 for university students on leave who are struggling to pay tuition due to the economic recession caused by COVID-19.

A total of 10 positions are available, with one assigned to each of the 10 community service centers in Geumcheon-gu.

Applicants must be university students on leave from a junior college or higher, currently registered as residents in Geumcheon-gu as of the application start date (March 17). However, prospective students, currently enrolled university students, graduate students, students of the Korea National Open University, cyber universities, and academic credit bank system (academy) students are excluded.

University students on leave who wish to participate can download the application form from the ‘Notices & Announcements’ section on the Geumcheon-gu Office website, fill it out, and submit it along with the required documents in person to the Village Autonomy Division on the 7th floor of Geumcheon-gu Office.

The district will conduct an electronic public lottery among qualified applicants who pass the document screening, announce the final successful candidates on March 27 on the district website, and notify them individually.

The final successful candidates will work at each community service center from April 1 to June 30, handling COVID-19 related visitor inquiries and general civil service guidance. They will work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, and receive a monthly salary of about 2 million KRW based on the Geumcheon-gu living wage (10,307 KRW per hour).

Yuseonghun, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, “In these difficult times due to COVID-19, the help of local youth will be a great support to Geumcheon-gu administration. I hope this opportunity allows students on leave, whose plans were disrupted by unforeseen circumstances, to achieve their goals once again.”
