Pusan National University, in collaboration with KOTRA, hosted a Job Fair for international students on September 18 at the university’s Engineering Building.

The event aimed to support foreign students seeking employment in Korea while helping local companies address talent shortages.

 

Over 200 international students participated, along with nine Busan-based companies. The majority of participating companies were recruiting for roles in research and development (47%) and overseas business (33%). Among the students, 62% were enrolled in graduate programs (master’s or doctoral), with engineering (40%) and business/economics (24%) being the most common majors―fields highly sought after by industry.

 

The event featured one-on-one interviews between students and companies, Korean and English resume reviews, mock interviews, professional ID photo sessions, personal color analysis, career counseling, and character profiling. These services helped students better understand the Korean job market and prepare for employment.
