[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Choi Hyun-joo] Changwon City in Gyeongnam announced on the 21st that 111 applicants submitted applications for the ‘2020 Second Half New Recruitment of Security Guards’ recently conducted.

The number of positions to be filled is 13, with a competition rate of 8.5 to 1. Notably, applicants in their 20s and 30s accounted for 94.4%.

After document screening, physical fitness tests, interviews, and background checks, the final successful candidates will receive salaries equivalent to police officers upon appointment, and the retirement age is guaranteed up to 60 years old.

The city had hired 7 security guards in the first half of the year. The reason for hiring an additional 13 in the second half is to replenish retirees from the second half and to create a safe working environment for public officials from verbal abuse and assault by civil petitioners, such as the assault incident in the Social Welfare Division of Masanhappo-gu that occurred in June.

Park Ji-yong, Head of the Personnel Organization Division, stated, “We will provide quality jobs to local residents and ensure that public officials who interact with the public can work in a safe environment by managing the examination process thoroughly for talent selection.”
