Why TSM South Korea?
What motivates you to join TSM?
I do believe technology is the way to go in developing businesses. Studying how technology will help businesses grow is a rather fascinating idea for me. There are also many different programmes and applications that technology has to offer, not just limited to software for companies.
Why pick South Korea?
Korea is a very creative country which uses many different ideas to solve their problems. Korea is also a rather advanced nation with many technology users. Their government also believes in the future of technology and thus it will be interesting to be exposed to different applications of technology that we can bring back to Singapore.
Internship Opportunities
What types of internship opportunities interest you?
Tech Consultant
Business Analyst
Working in tech start-ups
System Analyst
Any ideal firms (based in South Korea) that you wishes to join?
I feel that startups tend to give one more exposure to technology as your get to try hands-on applications. MNCs on the other hand tend to have the capital and resources to take risks and try something new. I am happy to just try something out. :)
Starting a business
What types of business interest you?
I am interested in technology, but also in the photography, education and F&B sector.
What plan do you have in starting a business?
My elder sister is studying law in Australia and I do hope to be able to work and support her when she starts her own business. I am aimming to start a business that develops software to help lawyers or accountants with their work.
