Why TSM South Korea?

  • What motivates you to join TSM?

To be able to learn about tech companies based in South Korea, and about the kind of culture which affects the way organisations work in South Korea. Most importantly, to be given a chance to learn how to pitch to secure internships.

  • Why pick South Korea?

I have recently read an article by Bloomberg News and it mentioned that South Korea is ranked first in terms of research & development capability, productivity, technology density and patent activity. It came as a coincidence when I saw the emailer regarding TSM to South Korea. I therefore truly believe that a trip to South Korea would be very beneficial in helping me to understand technology as a whole better. On a side note, I have not been to South Korea before, thus I would like to take this opportunity to visit South Korea.

Internship Opportunities

  • What types of internship opportunities interest you?

Personally, I love to teach. In addition, I would like to start my own business too. Hopefully and ideally, I vision to start a school, where I can incorporate both my passion - teaching, and my interest - entrepreneurship.

Therefore, I would be interested in any internship opportunities which offer job scopes that involve teaching, and human management.

  • Any ideal firms (based in South Korea) that you wishes to join?

Few of the biggest companies (Seeking for human resources or financial analysis internship opportunities) - Shinhan Financial Group - Samsung Life Insurance

Startups in South Korea - KakaoTalk - DevSisters
