Daegu Chamber of Commerce hosts networking day for young job seekers

The Daegu Chamber of Commerce, together with the Daegu city government, held a "Networking Day with Working Professionals" on Wednesday for about 50 unemployed young job seekers at the main auditorium of Daegu Happiness Dormitory.

Five companies sent working professionals to serve as mentors at the event: Dentis, Rootlab, Sambo Motors, Kakao and Trinity Airways.

The program was divided into two parts: a talk concert featuring working professionals and a rotating small-group mentoring session by company.

During the talk concert, the professionals shared firsthand workplace anecdotes and job-hunting tips, and took questions from participants.

In the rotating mentoring session that followed, participants moved from table to table in small groups, receiving specific advice on recruitment strategies and role-specific characteristics from representatives of each company.

Lee Sang-gil, standing vice president of the Daegu Chamber of Commerce, said he hoped the close interaction with working professionals would prove genuinely helpful to young job seekers. "We will continue to actively support the growth and development of local talent through a wide range of youth support programs," he added.
