This job fair consists of ▲ a recruitment hall where on-site interviews and recruitment consultations take place ▲ a job promotion hall introducing recruitment information from job-related organizations and relocated public institutions ▲ a special hall hosting public institution recruitment briefings ▲ and an auxiliary event hall with employment-related event booths.

Human resources managers from 32 companies will attend the on-site booths directly to conduct one-on-one customized employment consultations and on-site interviews for recruitment, while 20 companies will proceed with recruitment through a recruitment agency service that receives resumes submitted by job seekers.

A public institution recruitment briefing reflecting the demands of young people will be held, providing employment guidelines such as the competencies required for the job and the type of talent companies seek. The briefing will include participation from the Small and Medium Business Corporation and Korea South-East Power Co., Ltd.

Job-related organizations such as the Jinju Job Support Center, Jinju Employment Welfare Plus Center, Jinju Senior Job Creation Support Center, Middle-aged and Senior Job Hope Center, Gyeongsang National University University Job Plus Center, Small Enterprise and Market Service, and Gyeongnam Human Resources Development Committee will participate together to provide employment linkage consultations for various groups visiting the event venue.
