Gyeongnam Province Selects 1,666 Creative Convergence Talents... Third Largest Selection Ever

3 Grade 5 Officials, 46 Grade 7 Officials, 1551 Grade 8·9 Officials, 66 Researchers and Instructors

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Gyeongsangnam-do announced on the 10th that it will newly select 1,666 creative convergence-type talents to lead a greater future for Gyeongnam.

Although the number of selected candidates decreased by 127 compared to last year, it is the third largest selection scale in history. Gyeongnam Province explained that it considered the manpower demand for urgent national policy projects such as New Deal-linked projects, the introduction of the autonomous police system, infectious disease response, and youth job creation in the public sector.

The province announced the "2021 Gyeongsangnam-do Local Government Official Appointment Examination Implementation Plan," which contains related details, on the Gyeongsangnam-do website's exam information page on the 10th.

The number of recruits by rank is 3 for grade 5, 46 for grade 7, 95 for grade 8, 1,456 for grade 9, and 66 for research and guidance officers. Among them, 546 are grade 9 general administration, accounting for 32.8% of the total.

In particular, 73 persons with disabilities, 35 from low-income groups, 19 technical high school graduates (expected), and 9 national veterans will be selected at a scale higher than the legally mandated ratio.

The biggest change in this year's exam is that the "curatorial and archival researcher field" is separately divided and a written test is conducted, so the appointment exam will be held a total of four times.

The mandatory and veterinary official appointment exams do not conduct written tests, and the interview exams will be held early from March 15 to 16, considering the timing of license acquisition and the urgency of duties.

The curatorial and archival researcher appointment exam will have a written test on March 27, and the grade 8 and 9 open competitive appointment exams will have a written test on June 5.

The grade 7 administrative open competitive, research and guidance, grade 9 high school graduate (expected), and driver career competitive appointment exams are scheduled to have a written test on October 16.

Detailed exam schedules and the number of personnel by institution and job series (job category) can be checked through the Gyeongsangnam-do website and the local government internet application center, or by contacting the personnel department's examination education officer.
