Job hunting activities for university students who are entering their sixth year on the schedule of "starting public relations for recruitment in March and lifting the ban on selection in June".What are the characteristics of the 3rd year university students (including the 6st year master's students in the science department) who are scheduled to graduate in March 6 due to the corona sickness?

 DISCO Inc. surveyed the job hunting and student monitors of Caritas regarding job hunting awareness and job hunting preparation status as of October.The number of respondents was 10 (1,035 humanities boys, 309 humanities girls, 330 science boys, 264 science girls).

 According to the survey, 10% of the respondents said that they had "clearly decided" about the decision status of their desired industry as of October. It is 21.6 points higher than the 2019 synchronous survey (19.2%), showing that the pace of decision is a little faster. Combined with 2.4%, which is "somehow decided", the decision rate is 47.2%, which is close to 68.8%.It was especially high for science students.

 When asked to select up to 40 aspiring industries from 5 industries, the most common answer was "Information / Internet services 17.1%".This was followed by "construction / housing / real estate 16.7%" and "banks 15.8%". “Construction / Housing / Real Estate” jumped from 2019th to 8nd in 2, and “Bank” jumped from 11th to 3rd.
Looking at each attribute, the rankings of "bank" and "trading company (general)" are high in the humanities. "Bank" is the 1st place for boys and 2nd place for girls. "Trading company (general)" is second for boys and third for girls."Mass media" entered the first place of the liberal arts girls.Looking at science, boys ranked first in "electronics / electric appliances," followed by "information / internet services," and among science girls, "pharmaceuticals / medical-related / cosmetics" accounted for more than 2%.

 In addition, when asked about the second-half class format (self-study) of the university, 33.5% answered "all online (distance lessons)" and 50.4% answered "mostly online but also face-to-face", totaling 83.9% and 8%. Beyond.By liberal arts, the proportion of face-to-face meetings was slightly higher in science than in liberal arts.

 When I heard about the advantages and disadvantages of online classes, "I find it difficult to ask questions to teachers and discuss with other students as easily as face-to-face" (humanities boys), "It's easy because I don't have time to go to school. I feel that the degree of retention of the lesson content has declined. It is hard to have fun discussing and chatting with friends before and after the lesson. " Opinions such as "It is convenient because it is easy to parallel with activities" (science girls) and "It is easy because you do not have to go to school, but it makes your understanding shallow" (science boys).
