I always wanted to explore the life and career in Korea, and with Global E&S I had the most amazing experience. I was able to work on different aspects of the project and had extraordinary responsibilities which helped me grow and develop and gain a sense of what it is like to be a part of the working world.
Interning at The Korean Teaching Company, I had several responsibilities and opportunities to work independently while growing professionally and as an individual. With the support of my coworkers, the experiences built my confidence and I learned from my successes and failures while making lifelong memories and improvements. Everyone in the office was kind and supportive, willing to help me learn the Korean culture and more. I am grateful to have worked here with everyone.
This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The people at the internship were really nice and spoke English which really helped because I did not know any Korean when I started interning at the company. They made me feel welcomed and would answer any questions I had about Korean culture or anything else. During my spare time, I would explore the city since everything was new and completely different from where I came from. This was my first internship and it was such a great experience that I wish I could do it again.
