Why TSM South Korea?

• What motivates you to join TSM?
  

I would like to know how start-up companies work as I am interested in taking up an job/internship in SMEs to get as much experience as I can. Also, I would like to understand how business owners think. I believe that entrepreneurship courses does not necessarily impart only entrepreneurship skills. I think it also teaches people to be better followers, to think in the shoes of their bosses and offer up ideas that would be in-line with their bosses'/firms' business direction. As such, I find that TSM is the perfect opportunity to learn and gain insights. I can expose myself and broaden my perspectives.

• Why pick South Korea?
  

Aside from the pretty faces (of both guys and girls), South Korea has had it's fair share of publicity for it's IT prowess and expertise. Samsung is a good example. It's definitely a great place to learn and experience for myself.
