SURVEY OVERVIEW - Regarding the use of real-name social media/SNS for job hunting, 'unwilling to use' surpasses 'willing to use' for the first time in seven years.

When asked to what extent they want to use real-name social media and SNS for job hunting, 51.7% of students answered 'unwilling to use (not very + absolutely not),' surpassing the 48.3% who answered 'willing to use (actively + within a certain range).' This is the first time since the graduating class of 2020 (a span of 7 years) that 'unwilling to use' has been higher. The top reason among students 'unwilling to use' was 'because it's private and I don't want it to be seen' (66.3%). Among students 'willing to use' it, top methods included 'viewing company pages' (80.0%) and 'getting the latest company information' (44.7%). [Figures 1, 2, 3]
