80% of corporate rookies hate their jobs

By Jeong Ji-su

While it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find a job, the majority of those who found one appear to resent where they ended up.

In a survey of 626 people who found jobs in the past year, conducted by job information site Career, 80 percent of the respondents said they are already preparing to switch companies.

Most of the respondents spoke of ``discrepancies’’ between what they though the company would be and how things really were. Others admitted that they aimed low just to get a job and were looking to move on to a company with better pay.

The respondents were applying to 2.3 different companies every month and using break times and weekends to prepare themselves to move to another company.

Half of the respondents said they will keep looking for new jobs until they get into a company that they want to work in.
