This training was the first of five sessions planned, and it focused on enhancing overall job readiness, including everything from writing self-introduction letters—a common challenge for job seekers—to interview preparation. Ten young people from the city participated in the program.


The training consisted of three sessions. The first and second offline sessions were held at the Pyeongtaek Youth Support Center "Youth Rest, Mark" on April 7 and 9. The first session centered on understanding the 2026 recruitment trends and theoretical training on how to write self-introduction letters and respond to interviews. The second session allowed participants to draft and present a one-minute self-introduction for interviews and participate in practical mock interviews with feedback, helping them develop real-world job preparation skills.


The third session, held online from April 10 to 12, provided one-on-one consulting tailored to each participant’s schedule, offering individualized feedback.



Graduates of the program said, "Through the practical mock interviews, we were able to improve our interview skills and quickly grasp areas for improvement and positive aspects through on-site feedback," adding, "The one-on-one online consulting provided practical advice for revising our self-introduction letters and preparing for employment."
