The rising unemployment rate among young Koreans is affecting the entire nation.<br />As the government tries to tackle the problem,... Our Kan Hyeong-woo tells us how some provincial governments are finding ways to help young job seekers.<br />Korea's Jeollanam-do Province has put together a job exhibition at the Yeosu Expo site to provide opportunities for young people to find work.<br />"I got to learn more about the youth support policy by the Ministry of Employment and Labor. I also found out about various career programs here. I think it's going to help me a lot."<br />And the exhibition also helped employers find the right candidates for the job.<br />"When we go through the recruitment process, accepting online applications is the normal way to do that. But there's a limit. So for us to come here and actually meet the applicants face-to-face, I think it's a more effective way."<br />The exhibition invited some 34 Korean companies,... including 8 from overseas, with the help of this year's World Korean Business Convention.<br />"The Overseas Korean Foundation provides financial support through the Korean Business Youth Internship. So it's giving young Koreans an opportunity to go out into the world. For us, it's a chance to get to hire promising Korean job seekers. That's why it's a win-win policy."<br />"Along with other booths set up for job consultations,... this virtual reality technology gives you a taste of an actual job interview."<br />Job seekers can put on the head gear and go through a fake job interview to practice before the real on-site interview.<br />A total of 90 people are expected to be hired by the end of Thursday's three-hour exhibition.<br />Kan Hyeong-woo, Arirang News, Yeosu.<br />
