○ The 2-day untact ‘Online Job Fair for International Students’ runs from September 23 to 24.
– Untact interviews to be carried out for students and companies via kiosks (with computer automation systems) at Kyonggi University and Shinhan University.

The Gyeonggi Provincial Government announced that it will hold the ‘Online Job Fair for International Students 2020’ for international students at universities in the province from September 23 to 24.

This job fair is designed to help companies in the province that seek to enter emerging markets with the hiring of outstanding international students who are well-versed in local affairs, and to prevent visa violations via job matching through appropriate channels for international students.

Fifteen companies, including those seeking to enter overseas markets and promising enterprises, such as Nota Inc. and Ih Hwa Industries Co. Ltd., will participate, with over 80 international students in the province taking part.

Students based in the southern regions of the province will be able to participate in the job fair at Kyonggi University, while those in the northern region can participate at Shinhan University. Using unmanned kiosks equipped with computer automation systems installed at the universities, students will be able to select a company in which they are interested and then use the kiosks to respond to interview questions provided by companies in advance. All interviews will be recorded and companies will proceed with recruitment after reviewing the recordings.

A provincial official said, “We prepared an untact job fair so as to offer a valuable occasion through which to help both international students who are having difficulty finding jobs due to COVID-19 and companies in the province that are preparing to enter overseas markets.”
