Job and biz start-up fair

A job and business start-up fair opened Friday at the Seoul Trade Exhibition and Convention in southern Seoul for officers discharged or who will be from military service. Jointly hosted by KB Kookmin Bank and the Defense Ministry, the fair enabled some 80 companies to hire more than 1,000 employees, with some 40 well-known chains providing support to individuals looking to get into the franchise business.
