is a friendly economic time of reporter Kwon Aeri. Reporter Kwon, companies were recruiting in the first half of the year, but there is a survey of companies that our university students want to find the most.

<Reporter>

Yes. Employment Portal Encruit asks college students every year where they want to find the best job for 17 years since 2004.

Although similar companies always seem to be popular, the top fights are fierce every year depending on the changing times and market conditions.

This year Kakao took the first place. It was the first time in 2017 that Kakao was ranked in the top 10 in the survey, and after three years of entry, the preferences of college students outpaced senior conglomerates.

This year's questionnaire probably reflects college students' concerns about the job after the corona pandemic, which can be seen as the No. 1 showing anticipation for the untouched business.

Many respondents were concerned with the potential for growth of a so-called platform company, where people can connect online economic activities without contacting each other.

Naver, who has been No. 1 in 3 times since 2015, shares his interest in platform companies with Kakao and is ranked 3rd this year. It was the first time this year that two platform companies climbed in the top three.

Yes. What other companies are on top?

<Reporter>

The second place is Samsung Electronics, a so-called traditional strongman and also an IT company. IT companies all occupied from No. 1 to No. 3.

Samsung Electronics has never lost the top spot in this survey for 10 years from 2004. Since 2014, it has been competing in the top six with emerging companies.

Nevertheless, it was ranked first this year as the company that male students want to go to most. Both Hyundai Motors, which ranked sixth with Samsung Electronics, are consistently large companies and have a lot in common with male students.

In general, it has a characteristic of having a good impression in terms of the image that the salary is generous and the reward seems to work well.

Looking at the screen next to reporter Kwon a while ago, Korean Air is ranked 5th in the rankings, right?

<Reporter>

Yes. This is a little fat. In the aftermath of the corona, Korean Air maintained the fifth position despite the worst hitting of the airline and travel industries.

Hotel Shilla was named in the top 10 for the first time last year and then disappeared from the rankings this year after the corona aftermath. In the long term, there will be expectations for the recovery of the airline industry.

Also, the interest of female students was overwhelming. It seems that the expectation of crew positions, as well as job openings that have relatively wide open doors for girls, has also worked.

Interestingly, Korean Air was actually the first company to beat Samsung Electronics' 10-year solo in 2014.

Before that, he often came in the top 5, and at the end of 2014, the so-called Peanut Port controversy broke out and fell to the 9th place next year. Since then, he hasn't been in the top 10 for 3 years, but has been ranked 5th this year.

In the liking of young people in their 20s, owner risk was more scary than Corona, even though it was an airline. It can be said that the image of the owner's majority shareholder is an important factor in determining corporate preference and public opinion.

Asiana Airlines, which has been steadily popular with Korean Air, has moved away from the top ten since last year.

In addition, CJ E&M, LG H&H, AMOREPACIFIC, Hallyu, movies, and dramas, as well as so-called K-Beauty companies related to Hallyu, were closely related to the popularity of Korean pop culture in the top 10.

This year's survey asked only 119 companies out of 31 companies holding landlords among companies that ranked 150th in KOSPI sales.

In fact, the preferences of SOEs are still very high, so you should take into consideration that there is a little regret to see the overall preferences of college students.

I said that I asked without the public corporation. (Yes.) Most of the companies mentioned in the survey are now hiring.

<Reporter>

Yes. Most of them, except Korean Air, have postponed recruitment in the first half, and are now in the process of hiring. However, when it comes to large corporations, this atmosphere has been fading since Corona.

Kakao and Naver, which is hiring interns, tend to have fewer new recruits than traditional large companies.

Hyundai Motor Company, which has attracted around 10,000 people annually as a public bond, has also switched to regular employment since last year. SK Innovation is also being employed at any time.

It will not be accurate until this year is over, but the chances of new college graduates getting a job at these popular companies are likely to decrease from last year.

In the second half of the year, the schedule for hiring for the first half of the year has been postponed, so I hope that an environment where a lot of new jobs, careers, and cool jobs will be heard will be created.
