Kookmin University job fair with alumni mentors draws around 2,000 young people

[Financial News] Kookmin University said on the 29th that 1,996 people, including current students, alumni and young people from the local community, attended the “2026 Kookmin University Job Fair with Alumni Mentors,” held on the university’s main athletic field on the 28th, where around 7,700 career consultations were conducted.
The fair gives alumni working in the field a chance to serve as mentors and share their practical experience and hiring information. In response to strong interest and demand from young people, Kookmin University significantly increased the number of career-consulting booths from 45 last year to 80 this year.
Alongside the career-consulting booths, where alumni mentors held consultations, the venue also featured a youth employment policy information booth with participation from the University Job Plus Center and the Seoul Northern Employment and Welfare Plus Center, among others. Participants received advice on writing personal statements and preparing for interviews, and took part in various hands-on programs, including an AI job recommendation service and personal color analysis.
Jeon Min-kyung, a student in the College of Business Administration who attended the event, said, “It was a great help to hear specific job-search advice from alumni working at public corporations,” adding, “The event was bigger than last year, so I got a variety of information.” Choi Jae-hyeok, an alumnus who served as a mentor, said, “It was meaningful to be able to provide practical help with younger students’ job-search concerns.”
Kookmin University’s University Job Plus Center plans to continue strengthening career mentoring that connects alumni with current students and to keep running job-search support programs tailored to corporate hiring trends.
