Gangneung has launched a public recruitment drive for 10 sanitation workers set to begin work next year. The openings include seven men and two women under the general track, plus one position under a special track reserved for residents living near the city's resource recycling center.
The selection process consists of a first-round document review and physical fitness test, followed by a second-round interview. The document review evaluates factors such as length of residency in Gangneung and the number of dependents.
The highlight of the process is the physical fitness test, scheduled for Oct. 22 at Gangneung High1 Arena.
Candidates will be assessed on three events — a sack-carrying sprint, a sandbag endurance hold, and a 400-meter run — with three times the number of final positions advancing from the first round.
A second-round interview will follow, with final results announced Nov. 13. Successful candidates will then undergo a medical examination and background check before a probationary period in December, with formal appointments taking effect Jan. 1, 2027.
Applicants must be Gangneung residents registered in the city as of Monday — the application announcement date — and must be between 20 and 60 years of age, in good physical health, and free of any disqualifying conditions under relevant regulations.
Applications will be accepted from Thursday through Tuesday, excluding weekends, and must be submitted in person with all required documents at the Resource Recycling Division of Gangneung City Hall.
The full recruitment notice will be available on the Gangneung City Hall website starting Monday.
