On November 10, SolBridge hosted 28 Korean and global companies for its annual job fair, the first to be held offline since 2019. Companies representing different fields, from Technology, Logistics, and Human Resources to Healthcare, highlighted and introduced themselves to potential candidates.

Over 170 students participated in on-the-spot interviews, career counseling and attended special lectures by HR professionals on sourcing global talent and working in Korea as foreigners. Additionally, SolBridge alums that successfully found employment in Korea shared their experiences with the current students.

Before the fair, students received career advice and tailored sessions on the cover letter and resume writing organized by SolBridge Career Development Center (CDC).

SolBridge strives to provide various networking opportunities and industry placements for students in terms of internships to polish their skills and knowledge as they prepare to enter the job market. “The biggest difference of this year’s event is that it is a customized recruitment fair between selected companies that are interested in recruiting excellent local and foreign talent and job seekers,” said Prof. Han Joon-Ki, Director of SolBridge CDC. Additionally, the fair was an opportunity for foreign talent to learn more about the work culture and skills that Korean companies look out for in recruitment.

Some participating companies include Adecco Korea, Dongwon Industries, Gucci Korea, Trip.com and GE Healthcare, BIONEER, and Surplus Global.
