Why TSM South Korea?

South Korea is famous for a wide range of industries which includes skincare-cosmetics products and services, IT and F&B. Through this TSM, I would like to learn more about the way businesses in South Korea is conducted and how I can apply some of their business strategies to businesses in Singapore.

Internship Opportunities

I am interested in internship opportunities that allows me to explore how different use of social media technologies like (Search Engine Optimization & Search Engine Marketing) can be used for businesses, whether e-commerce/brick and mortar businesses. In this age of social media, I find interest in exploring how this platform can be exploited to connect people to businesses and business to business.

What Type of Business Interest Me?

Frankly, any form of business that generates profits, with minimal start-up costs interests me. While the valuable experience of watching your business develop and grow is also an attractive catch, the main concern of starting a business is to generate profits and to see if your ideas are feasible and marketable.

Keen business interests:
- Café Business
- Education Business
- Fashion Accessories and Skincare Products (E-commerce)
- Business Consulting
