This study aims to understand the effect of employment-related experiences on the job performance of early employed people who entered their first job after graduation from a 4-year university. For this, the data were analyzed from the Korea Employment Information Service s Vocational Movement Path Survey (GOMS 2017). In particular, the first job performance of university graduates was analyzed by dividing into objective performance and subjective performance. First, the results of the analysis of the impact on the first job employment and monthly average wage, which are objective achievements among job performances, are as follows.
Graduates who received a certificate, vocational education, or contest award among their university experiences resulted in faster employment, and higher grades and English scores resulted in higher monthly average wages. Students who participated in the college-provided job camps and prepared for employment were more likely to find employment faster and higher wages. Second, in the case of subjective outcomes such as job satisfaction, job satisfaction and job satisfaction were low when they had received a contest while attending university or completed a work experience program.
And then, in the case of completing career employment courses and work experience programs, the agreement between the current work and one s education level was high, whereas participation in the company recruitment briefing showed low agreement between the current work and one s education level. Based on the results of the study, it is necessary for universities to provide career education such as work experience programs or career-employment courses for young people s labor market transition and job performance. This suggests that efforts to provide experiences that can improve the quality of life of individuals are needed.
