With Job Interview Experience, Receive 50,000 Won...Gyeonggi Province Youth Interview Allowance Begins on the 25th

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] Gyeonggi Province will begin accepting first applications for the 2022 Youth Interview Allowance starting on the 25th.

The 'Gyeonggi Province Youth Interview Allowance' is a project that provides interview activity expenses (50,000 won per interview) to Gyeonggi Province youth who participate in interviews in order to ease the financial burden of interview costs for young people and promote a culture of companies paying interview fees.

The application period runs from 9 a.m. on April 25 to 6 p.m. on May 27, and applicants can apply through the Gyeonggi Province Youth Interview Allowance website (http://thankyou.jobaba.net).

Youth aged 18 and older and under 39 years old (born January 2, 1982 to December 31, 2004) whose registered residence is in Gyeonggi Province as of the application date can apply if they have experience with job interviews this year, regardless of employment status.
Those with experience in part-time jobs working less than 30 hours per week and those who have taken interviews at business sites outside Gyeonggi Province (including overseas companies) are also eligible.

Young people who had job interviews in December of last year but did not receive the interview allowance can also apply retroactively during this first recruitment period.

However, participants in similar projects to the Gyeonggi Province Youth Interview Allowance such as ▲unemployment benefits ▲Gyeonggi Women's Employment Support Funds ▲youth job seekers' transportation expense support projects are not eligible to apply.

Following verification of submitted documents such as applicants' residences and whether they took interviews, selected applicants will receive job search activity expenses of 50,000 won per interview (up to 6 times) in Gyeonggi regional currency.

Kim Sun-hwa, head of the Youth Welfare Policy Division at Gyeonggi Province, said "We hope this will help young people conduct stable job searches" and "Going forward, Gyeonggi Province will continue to make active efforts to support young people in need."

For detailed inquiries, guidance is available through the Youth Interview Allowance counseling call center (1877-2046).
