Nearly 150 companies had more than 6,000 jobs on offer at a job fair for manufacturing workers in Chonburi.

Labor Vice Minister Amnat Anardngam and Chonburi Gov Pakarathorn Thienchai opened the May 5 expo at the Amata City industrial estate where 141 firms sought applicants for 6,132 positions in the electronic, automotive, food, transport and construction sectors.

The high-tech job fair allowed workers to use their phones to scan barcodes to get lists of jobs available at each company, as well as get training for job interviews and meet company recruiters.

The event also featured foot massages, stage performances, a singing contest, sales of agricultural products grown by both big farms and young farmers as well as locally made goods.
