A total of 11 international financial institutions, including the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB), will participate in a career fair in Korea next month.
Hosted by the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the program will take place at ChungAng University in Dongjak District, Seoul, from Nov. 17 to 18.
The ministry has hosted the program 13 times so far.
The recruiters from each of the 11 entities will come to Korea ― for the first time in three years ― and explain their hiring processes.
The two-day fair will also include Q&A sessions for Korean employees at 11 institutions.
Applicants are required to register online by Nov. 11.
There will be on-site interviews for those who are considered suitable for the jobs offered.
“We expect the program will offer a chance for the participating entities to hire talented jobseekers for various positions,” the ministry said in a press release, Wednesday. “We accordingly will offer full-fledged support for talented workers to land jobs at global financial institutions.”
In the case of the World Bank, a top-ranking official from human resource management will visit Seoul to find qualified candidates for internships and full-time positions at the U.S.-headquartered institution.
