Kookmin University (President Jeong Seung Ryul) held the “2026 Academic Year Job Boost-Up Camp” at Bloom Vista in Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi Province, from August 18 to 20—a three-day, two-night program. A total of 26 participants, including current students and alumni of Kookmin University preparing for employment, took part in the camp.
This program was designed to help participants refine their individual job-search strategies based on self-awareness and an analysis of the job market, while strengthening the skills needed for the actual hiring process, such as resume preparation and interviews. The program consisted of a step-by-step process: “Self-Awareness → Understanding the Job Market → Writing a Cover Letter → Practical Interview Preparation.”
On the first day, participants took part in sessions designed to identify their strengths and competencies and assess their current level of job-search readiness. Through special lectures on strength analysis and stress management programs, participants were able to objectively examine their experiences and competencies and set individual job-search goals and future preparation strategies.
On the second day, after examining recent hiring trends and changes in job roles across various industries, participants received training on writing application documents for real-world scenarios. They learned how to write cover letters by linking their experiences to job competencies using the STAR method and gained insights into adapting to the evolving job market through hands-on practice using generative AI.
On the final day, competency-based mock interviews and one-on-one feedback coaching tailored to different interview styles were conducted. Participants reviewed their responses and reactions in simulated real-life interview scenarios and received individualized feedback. The program concluded with a special lecture titled “The Job-Hunting Bible: Tips from a Top Instructor,” led by a career expert, where participants reviewed overall job-hunting strategies—including application materials and interviews.
Through this camp, Kookmin University’s Career Plus Center supported students in clearly articulating their strengths and experiences and in developing job-search strategies tailored to the current hiring landscape. The center plans to continue offering customized career and employment programs that reflect the needs and stages of job preparation for both current students and alumni.
