Gakujo Co., Ltd. Press release: September 27, 2024 Nearly 60% of people in their 20s answered that their desire to apply increased after participating in a casual interview. Gakujo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo) conducted a survey to understand the work views and work consciousness of people in their 20s. This time, we investigated “casual interviews”. Nearly 60% of people in their 20s answered that their desire to apply had increased through the casual interview. The most common question asked during a casual interview was “What kind of work would I do if I joined the company?” at 70.0%. This was followed by “Ease of work (office environment, systems, benefits)” at 62.0%, and “personality and atmosphere of the employees who will work with me if I join the company” at 51.0%. Through a casual interview, we can see that you would like to get to know the work you will be doing after joining the company and the atmosphere of the department to which you will be assigned. 【TOPICS】 (1) Nearly 60% of people in their 20s answered that their understanding of the company had improved and their desire to apply had increased during casual interviews (2) The most common question I want to ask in a casual interview is “What kind of work will I do if I join the company?” [Background of the survey] Now that lifelong employment is no longer the norm, there is growing interest in employees’ independent career development. As the number of job seekers who want to build their careers through job changes is increasing, there is a growing need to get real information on whether their career direction matches companies and job openings in order to prevent mismatches. “Casual interviews” that deepen mutual understanding during application and screening participation are supported by job seekers, who say “it helps prevent mismatches.” We conducted a survey to find out how people in their 20s view “casual interviews.” (1) Nearly 60% of people in their 20s answered that their understanding of the company had improved and their desire to apply had increased during casual interviews
