Samsung Group conducts aptitude test for job applicants

Over 100-thousand people... this year alone... have proven their desire to work at Korea's top conglomerate... Samsung... by taking the Samsung Aptitude Test. And while the best and the brightest may consider Samsung their dream job... critics worry the nation's economy has become too reliant on the business icon. Kim Ji-yeon reports. On an early Sunday morning, this large group of people is heading toward a local school ground. They're not adolescents looking for extra credit, they're job applicants to Korea's largest company: Samsung. Working for the conglomerate is considered a dream job, as it offers stability, benefits and good pay. So what does it take to get hired? The first hurdle applicants must clear is the Samsung Aptitude Test. If they want an interview, they have to pass the standardized test first. It evaluates a person's abilities in a wide range of subjects including linguistics, math and logic. There's heated competition among job applicants each and every year, and this year is no exception. "I could have graduated college late last year but postponed it to study for the Samsung Aptitude Test. I even took classes to get a good score on the test." Since the beginning of the year, more than 100-thousand people have applied for employment at Samsung, but just around 4-thousand are expected to land a regular paying job. That means that only one out of 20 people will get in. "Reflecting this fervor to get a job at Samsung,... you can see there's a variety of workbooks on every subject for the Samsung Aptitude Test... illustrating just how much influence the conglomerate has on the Korean economy and society." Samsung Group's total market value was more than 286-billion U.S. dollars in 2012... comprising nearly 26-percent that of all listed companies in Korea. At the same time, combined operating profits of Samsung and its affiliates were nearly 16-percent of the listed companies in 2012... at around 29-billion U.S. dollars. Market researcher CEO-Score suggests a need to find ways for other Korean companies to boost their revenues as well... highlighting the risks to the Korean economy if Samsung has to face unfair value of the currency or a global financial crisis that may hamper profits.
