About 550 job seekers of various ages attended the fair, where a total of 48 companies, including local small and medium-sized businesses, took part in recruitment either in person or indirectly.

The venue included a recruitment hall for on-site interviews and hiring consultations, a job information hall, an auxiliary events hall, and a special hall for employment lectures.

Thirty companies, including local small and medium-sized businesses, participated in person in the recruitment hall, conducting on-site interviews and hiring consultations with job seekers.

The 18 companies that participated indirectly sought to connect with job seekers through services such as resume submission assistance provided by the Jinju City Job Support Center.

The Korea Testing & Research Institute, the Jinju Branch Office of the Ministry of Employment and Labor, Gyeongsang National University, Korea Polytechnics Jinju Campus, the Gyeongnam Western Branch of the Korea Employment Agency for Persons with Disabilities, and other related organizations took part in the job information hall.

Each organization provided job seekers with information on employment counseling, vocational training courses, employment support policies, and job placement programs. The auxiliary events hall also offered a variety of programs to help job seekers prepare for employment.

Key programs included taking and printing ID photos for resumes, personal color analysis, coaching on interview attire, and hair and makeup coaching. The fair also offered hands-on activities for job seekers, including employment tarot readings, aromatherapy, and calligraphy.

An employment lecture was held in the special hall under the theme, "Turning Experience into an Advantage: Designing My Work Strengths." The lecture introduced ways for job seekers to assess their experience and capabilities and use them in preparing for job applications and interviews.

Jinju City and Sancheong County said the joint job fair had created an opportunity to connect local companies' hiring needs with job seekers' preferred fields of work and expand the exchange of job information between the two areas.

A Jinju City official said, "We would like to thank the companies and related organizations that participated in the job fair. We will continue to work with local governments to address local companies' hiring difficulties and provide job seekers with a range of employment opportunities."

Meanwhile, Jinju City and Sancheong County plan to continue working with related organizations to revitalize the local employment market and pursue employment support programs that connect job seekers with companies.

For joint job fairs between regions to lead to tangible employment results, it is necessary to track actual hires and job retention after the event and provide ongoing follow-up support to connect companies with job seekers.
