[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 5th that a total of 269 applicants applied for the open recruitment exam for security guards from the 2nd to the 4th, competing for 8 positions, showing a high competition rate of 33.6 to 1.

The average age of applicants was 31.3 years, similar to last year (33.0 years). By age group, those in their 20s were the largest with 116 people (43.1%), followed by 111 people in their 30s (41.3%), 38 people in their 40s (14.1%), and 4 people aged 50 or older (1.5%).

Applicants diagnosed with COVID-19 who wish to take the exam will be allowed to do so at a special test site, where dedicated personnel will be assigned and thorough post-management and quarantine control will be conducted.

Kim Jong-hwa, the city’s Personnel Policy Officer, said, “Through this open recruitment for security guards, we plan to establish a fair and transparent hiring culture, secure local talent in a timely manner, and ensure thorough protection of government buildings and civil service guidance.”
