Why TSM at South Korea?
Throughout my education journey, I have never given up an opportunity to gain knowledge outside the traditional classroom environment. I firmly believe that there should be a balance between what you learn inside and outside the classroom. South Korea, being one of the Asian Tigers, is a good place to start exploring the culture of business in Asia-Pacific. Therefore, I am keen to take up this opportunity for a study mission to expand my knowledge of business relations and culture in South Korea.
Internship Opportunities
- What types of internship opportunities interest you?
- Business Analyst - Learning how to come up with effective technological solutions to attain business objectives
- Technological start-up - An internship at a start up will open up knowledge that you can never learn in a big firm
- IT Consultant - Help companies with their IT needs
- Any ideal firms (based in South Korea) that you wish to join?
Samsung, LG Electronics, Hyundai, SK Telecom, Daewoo
Although the companies listed are MNCs, I am also keen in interning with a start-up to learn things that are quite dissimilar to things you can learn in an MNCs.
Starting Business
- What types of business interest you?
- IT Consulting
- Finance Related IT Services
- Start-ups
- What plans do you have in starting a business? (list existing business)
Due to lack of experience in the industry, I feel that I do not have the necessary skills and experience to start a business. Therefore, I hope by joining the TSM will enrich, enhance and prepare myself in starting up a business. Currently, I do not have a concrete plan to start a business, but if I am to venture into one, it will be something that is related between fashion and IT.
