POL Co., Ltd., which provides a new graduate recruitment service "LabBase" that can scout excellent science students based on research content, conducted a questionnaire survey on job hunting for 2022 science graduate students scheduled to graduate in 1104. Was carried out.
According to the survey, 67.1% of the respondents answered that they were "not sure whether to use" or "used or intend to use" the recommendation system.By major, the number of students in "Mechanical" was the highest, followed by "Electrical / Electronic" and "Chemistry".Many respondents answered that there was no recommendation for "medicine" and "biology / agriculture", which have a low rate of intention to use recommendations, and it is thought that the degree of expansion of the recommendation system in each major has a large effect.On the other hand, 28.% of the students majoring in "information" answered "do not use, do not intend to use", which was higher than other majors.It seems that there is a tendency to select a company from a variety of free choices because it is a major field that is popular with companies.
As of November 2020, when the survey was conducted, 11% of students answered that they had completed job hunting.It can be said that most science students are still looking for jobs.The percentage of those who started job hunting before June of the first year of the master's course increased from 0.5% for 1 graduates to 6% for 2021 graduates.This result may indicate anxiety about job hunting, which is uncertain due to the corona virus. The percentage of those who have not started job hunting as of November is also smaller than that of 46.3 graduates, indicating that the time to start job hunting is getting earlier.As of mid-November, the percentage of students who entered one or more companies in the final selection was 2022%, and the unofficial holding rate was 60.6%.
When asked what they felt most happy about in job hunting, many answers were given in the order of "interview with researchers / engineers", "consult with researchers / engineers", and "experience actual work". collected.From this result, it can be seen that science students place importance on knowing the realities of people and work in the field during job hunting.
On the other hand, the most uneasy things about job hunting were "I'm not good at interviewing", followed by "Balancing schoolwork and job hunting" and "I can't do self-analysis".In addition, "the schedule of the desired company is unknown" is also mentioned, and it can be seen that it is affected by the corona disaster.
