"You need to prepare from your freshmen year to get the most sought after jobs!"
YU (President Noh Seok-kyun) students are doing all they can to prepare to land their desired jobs.
YU held the 'Mock Work Aptitude Test for Conglomerates among Younger Students' for advanced preparation and increased awareness for finding jobs. This is because large conglomerates such as Samsung, LG and Hyundai, as well as public companies and public institutes are conducting work aptitude tests in the new employee hiring process.
As if to reflect such trends, 2,000 students in their freshmen to junior years applied to the mock work aptitude test, demonstrating the high level of interests among younger students for employment. The mock work aptitude test that was held for the first time at the YU Humanities Hall on the 28th of last month will be held on 25 sessions until May 27.
Ma Eun-bi (19, freshmen in the College of Business & Economics) who enrolled at YU this year said, "I applied because I wanted to experience the mock work aptitude test given to younger students at the school," and added, "I still have a lot of time left before I graduate so I will make preparations one at a time for the company I want to enter."
The conglomerate comprehensive mock work aptitude test held at YU was held for 50 minutes with a total of 70 questions in the four main fields of language, math, problem-solving and work knowledge. Students will be able to get a field for the trends and actual testing for the work aptitude tests through the mock test, and based on the test results, they will be able to check their personal strengths and weaknesses to set their future learning direction and contribute in enhancing the employment competitiveness of students.
YU Student Capacity Development Office Director Kim Young-tak who prepared this mock work aptitude test said, "Work aptitude tests are necessary for all students who want to find jobs regardless of the industry." He also added, "Our school will provide full support through various employment support programs so that students can gain interest in jobs in advance and gain more information."
