Mapo-gu District Mayor Yoo Dong-gyun visited the 2026 Mapo-gu Job Fair on Friday afternoon at the lobby of the Mapo-gu District Office, touring hiring booths and hands-on job experience stations to encourage job seekers.
The fair was designed to bring together residents looking for work and companies searching for talent. A total of 27 booths operated across four zones: a hiring hall, a job experience hall, a side-events area and a partner agency promotional hall.
The hiring hall hosted one-on-one interviews and recruitment consultations, while the job experience hall offered hands-on activities including excavator operation, tile grouting and newborn care. The partner agency zone helped job seekers prepare for employment through interview makeup sessions and resume photo shoots.
Yoo toured the hiring hall, where 16 companies from fields including education, finance and childcare conducted one-on-one interviews and recruitment consultations. Yoo then moved to the job experience hall, where Yoo offered words of encouragement to residents trying their hand at new occupations.
"I hope this event gives residents looking for work a real chance at employment, and gives companies the opportunity to find the talent they need," Yoo said. "Even after the fair, Mapo-gu will stay by each job seeker's side with tailored employment support until they find a job."
