‘2010 Job Fair for university students in Gyeongnam province’ was hosted by CWNU on October 15th. 175 companies and 2,600 job seekers participated in this job fair. 3 fewer companies participated than last year. Students from universities which are located in neighboring cities accounted for 20 percent of the total participants, because CWNU is unique in hosting a job fair with university students, due to the great cost of hosting the fair. In addition, it is hard to gather many companies together.

This job fair offered a lot of employment opportunities; interview, counseling, and recruitment. In addition, many job seekers took advantage of useful services, such as a vocational aptitude test, image consulting, a resume clinic, a beauty salon, and a photo studio. Jo Don-Sik, a junior student in the Department of Journalism & Mass communication said, “I am a first year student. However, I worry about my future, so I came to this fair to plan ahead. I observed that it is not to easy to obtain a job. I felt that I must study hard in my major.”

The General Human Resources Development Center of CWNU aims to increase the percentage of employment, with its slogan “80 percent employment in 2011”. It makes a constant effort to increase employment. The Center will introduce various employment programs by the end of this year. The proposed programs are a supporting program for talented people, an employment camp, a program to acquire MOS (Microsoft Office Master) certificate, and a program to improve graduates’ skills in employment. Park Yun-Ho (Dept. of Mechanical Design & Manufacturing Engineering) who participated in employment program said, “I received assistance in preparing the interview. The center informed me about attitude, etiquette and tips for interviews. The mock interview was equal to an actual interview and a tense atmosphere could be felt during the interview. This was a very good opportunity for me to check myself. Through the efforts of the center, I was able to react with equanimity to upsetting questions in an actual interview. Finally I got a job in ‘Volvo Construcion Equipment’. I want to recommend this program to other students.”
