An exhibition space will help participating job seekers better understand what 68 foreign-based hi-tech in the province are doing by displaying their products and introducing their current status of operation, in addition to introducing the provincial office’s effort to develop itself as a knowledge-based hi-tech cluster. 

Businesses and job seekers interested in participating in the job fair (scheduled for June 23 through July 7) should submit application by June 25 via http://global.jobkorea.co.kr. 

Participating businesses will be allowed to use Job Korea’s system for searching talented youths and bizmon.com free for a month. Participating job seekers, on their part, can enjoy various free services, such as the use of the interactive recruit-matching system, photos to be attached to resumes, aptitude/personality tests, consulting for employment either in or out of Korea, etc. 

A provincial government official said, “We are striving to make the event a first-rate one in which highly qualified businesses and job seekers can meet each other.”
