The application deadline is the coming 26th. Eligibility requirements include being a graduate (or prospective graduate) of a junior college majoring in emergency medical services, holding a Level 1 EMT certification, and a Class 1 ordinary driver's license.
Candidates must be able to work a 4-team, 3-shift rotation and wear a cleanroom suit.
Upon joining the company, the position is responsible for patient assessment and response in the event of an in-house emergency, management of ambulances and emergency supplies, and dispatching to sites for internal reports and civil complaints.
The rapid spread of the job posting is attributed to the growing interest in performance-based bonuses within the semiconductor industry, which has been highlighted following the recent labor dispute at Samsung Electronics.
In addition, the job posting garnered further attention after it was featured in an Instagram post by job information blogger 'Job King Kim Baek-su,' which described the starting salary as "guaranteed to be over 100 million won.
" While adding that the salary and benefits are also "top-tier in the industry," he included a caveat stating, "Please consider performance bonus and salary information for reference only, as it is subject to change based on company performance and management conditions.
" However, it is reported that the prevailing view in the industry is that it is difficult for a new paramedic working at a semiconductor plant to earn an annual salary of 100 million won.
It is said that even if the performance bonuses received by mid-career hires are combined, they do not reach this level.
It was also pointed out that the actual amount received, including both the contract salary and performance bonuses, should be examined separately.
Upon hearing the news, netizens expressed envious reactions, asking about recruitment for other medical professions, with comments such as, "This is a performance bonus hotspot," "Do they not need dental hygienists?", "Aren't they hiring nurses?", and "Aren't they looking for radiographers?" Regarding internal benefits, positive reviews continued, with comments like, "The benefits are amazing," and "There are so many benefits that there would be nowhere to spend money.
