"Job hunting", "Corona", "Cancelled" Increased usage on Twitter March 2 18:11
Due to the spread of the new coronavirus, large-scale events related to job hunting, as well as company briefings, have been canceled or postponed one after another, raising concerns among students. This situation is also reflected in SNS, and on Twitter, the frequency of use of words such as "corona", "discontinuation", and "impact" is increasing along with "job hunting".
For job hunting for current third-year students and students who graduate next spring, companies will hold briefings for students in March according to the rules set by the government.
According to NHK's analysis of Twitter posts in February and January, the number of tweets containing the word “Job hunting” was at least 400,000, the highest since October last year.
In particular, the number of tweets increased at the end of the month. Following “Riku Navi” on a major employment information site, “My Navi” decided to cancel the joint company briefing session until March 15 on February 26, two days a day. There were over 13,000 posts. It was the largest number of posts in February.
Looking at the words used on Twitter, the number of cases where the word "corona" was used together with "job hunting" was skyrocketing.
Words such as "cancel", "impact", "event" and "explanatory meeting" are frequently used along with "job hunting" and "corona".
In the post at this time, `` Events such as briefing sessions have been canceled and what will happen to job hunting '' I understand, but I'm desperate for you too! "
