Gyeonggi Province to Recruit 1,385 Civil Servants This Year

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 12th its plan to conduct the 2005 Gyeonggi Province Local Civil Service Examination, recruiting 1,385 people across 30 job categories (1,165 from open competition and 220 from restricted competition).

The province plans to recruit 17 promising personnel for the Gyeonggi Provincial Government headquarters, with the largest recruitment planned for Yongin City at 223 positions, in anticipation of the establishment of new district offices.

By rank, the province will recruit 1,165 people from 11 job categories, including 14 positions for administrative grade 7, 625 positions for administrative grade 9, 30 positions for administrative grade 9 reserved for persons with disabilities, and 37 positions for tax grade 9. Through the restricted competition special recruitment examination, the province plans to recruit 220 people from 19 job categories (types), including 44 positions for environmental grade 9 and 29 positions for cadastral grade 9.

Application submission will take place from February 1 to 5 by designated employment agency. The written examination for the open competition recruitment will be held on April 3.

Final passing results will be announced between June 4 and 8. The written examination for the restricted competition special recruitment will be held on May 22, with final passing results announced on July 12.

The province will expand eligibility requirements by relaxing residency restrictions from city and county-specific locations to any resident within the province.

Additionally, to address issues such as early transfers, the province will restrict transfers to other agencies to a three-year period following initial placement in the designated city or county.

A provincial official stated, "By implementing this examination early, we expect to effectively address administrative demands through smooth personnel expansion for the province and municipalities, and we anticipate this will significantly contribute to alleviating youth unemployment."
