[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 21st that it is recruiting participating companies and job seekers for the ‘Gwangju Win-Win Job Fair,’ held to revitalize the employment market, which has been stagnant due to COVID-19, and to create local jobs.

The Gwangju Win-Win Job Fair, held on the 10th of next month at the Kim Dae-jung Convention Center, will be operated online as part of COVID-19 ‘social distancing in daily life,’ with related job institutions such as Gwangju City, Gwangju Regional Employment and Labor Office, and Gwangju-Jeonnam Regional Small and Medium Venture Business Administration participating together.

The fair will first recruit participating companies, including excellent companies located in Gwangju (including nearby areas such as Hwasun and Jangseong) and premium small and strong companies, through the official operation site from the 22nd of this month to the 7th of next month, while job seekers can submit applications from the 1st to the 7th of next month.

Then, the first round of document screening will be conducted until the 8th of next month, and interviews will be divided into video interviews and non-video interviews depending on the circumstances of the companies.

Video interviews will be held on the day of the fair, the 10th of next month, at the Kim Dae-jung Convention Center, with about 40 companies participating, and to disperse the visiting times of job seekers, interviews will be conducted in time slots.

Job seekers will conduct interviews with the companies they applied to via video at the fair venue.

Companies that do not apply for video interviews plan to schedule non-video interviews independently.

Gwangju City has changed the existing offline job fair to an online fair to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and has held it twice in May and June to resolve mismatches between employers and job seekers and to revitalize the local economy.

Gu Jong-cheon, the city’s Job Policy Officer, said, “We hope the job fair, where jobs in various fields and industries can be viewed and compared at a glance, will become a meeting place for employers and job seekers,” and added, “We hope this fair will be successful for job seekers who are desperate to find employment.”
