A job fair will be held for those interested in foreign-invested companies at Grand InterContinental Hotel Seoul Parnas in southern Seoul, Nov. 8. The event is part of the Invest Korea Week 2018 event co-hosted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government, the Korea Trade Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA) and the Ministry of International Trade, Industry and Energy.

According to the city government, 92 foreign companies including Boeing, Adidas Korea and Siemens will hire 800 employees. About 80 percent of the companies will hire employees with no experience.

The companies will conduct interviews at booths, either one-on-one or in a group.

Some 8,890 people had submitted their resumes to apply for interviews through the job fair's website until Oct. 23. Those who haven't done so online will have an offline chance on the spot, as 60 companies will accept interview applications if jobseekers submit Korean and English resumes.

Eight companies will give company presentations, along with career counseling, to provide guidelines and tips for getting hired by foreign companies.

"More than 7,000 foreign-invested companies are operating in Seoul. We hope the job fair will give a great opportunity to young jobseekers to have jobs in the global market," said Cho In-dong, head of the city government's economic planning headquarters.
