[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] The '2020 Gyeonggi Province Online Youth Job Fair' will be held for three weeks from November 23 to December 11.

The 'Gyeonggi Youth Job Fair,' hosted by Gyeonggi Province and organized by the Gyeonggi Jobs Foundation, was prepared to provide young people facing difficulties in employment due to COVID-19 and other factors with a wide range of job opportunities, and simultaneously to give companies in the province opportunities to hire talented employees.

Beginning in 2018, 1,956 young people have participated to date, with 152 successfully finding employment.

The job fair, which is being held online for the first time due to COVID-19, provides young people with suitable company recommendations tailored to their characteristics, companies with job applicants matched to their desired talent profiles, and both parties with services such as 'online video interviews.'

Additionally, approximately 80 mid-sized and small companies from various sectors including ▲IT ▲education ▲manufacturing ▲cosmetics ▲automotive industry ▲food ▲advertising and public relations will participate and conduct online recruitment.

In addition, online consulting is available where participants receive company recommendations suited to them through resume consultations, and an online consultation hall where participants can directly apply for positions with mentors from companies of interest and obtain information on hiring methods using ZOOM.

Various accompanying events including a youth employment talk concert, self-promotion video contest, and participant events are also being prepared.

Young people wishing to participate in online job applications, consulting, consultation halls, and more can apply through the fair's website (www.jobara.net) during the event period.

Kim Gyeong-hwan, director of the Youth Welfare Policy Division at Gyeonggi Province, said, "Many young people are having a particularly difficult time this year due to COVID-19. I hope this job fair becomes an event that satisfies both young people and companies seeking to hire talented employees," and added, "We appreciate the active participation and interest of young people with excellent capabilities and passionate commitment."
