The UNICEF Seoul Liaison Office Career Booth was a success at the 2023 International Career Fair, attracting over 40 attendees, including five who participated in mock interviews. The booth provided an opportunity for young Koreans to learn more about international career opportunities with UNICEF, as well as the organization's mission and work in the Public Partnership Division office in Seoul. 

The booth featured representatives from UNICEF Seoul Liaison Office, including Sang-Mi Lee (Public Partnerships Manager), Ho Jung (Helen) Chun (Communications Consultant), and Medhavi Hassija (Intern). With their varied expertise, these representatives provided valuable insights into career opportunities UNICEF offers and educated attendees about the PPD Seoul office's role and initiatives in the Republic of Korea. They also answered questions from attendees about UNICEF's global commitments and the skills and experience that are in demand for careers with the organization.

The Career Booth was a valuable resource for young Koreans interested in pursuing a career in international development. It allowed them to learn more about UNICEF and the opportunities available to them, and it inspired them to pursue their dreams of making a difference in the world. The feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, and many expressed that they were inspired to pursue a career with UNICEF after visiting the booth. As we anticipate the impactful contributions these young individuals will make in the near future, we remain inspired by their enthusiasm for positively shaping the world.
