From June 26 to July 2, I visited Hong Kong, Macao, and China through the Global Career School program. Global Career School is a specialized job preparing education program and I highly recommend this program.

Global Career School guides you in making a good resume, practicing for job interviews, and showing a good image to employers. Also, this program helps you to have good teamwork by doing team projects. Most of all, you can visit other countries’ enterprises and sights with 36 Keimyung University students and share job finding information.

36 program members were selected through three phases, resume test, presentation, and final interview, from among 297 students. Park Dong-seob of the Job Support Center said, “We want to give students a chance to experience job finding indirectly through our program.” After that, we realized our strengths and weaknesses for finding jobs.

Before leaving for China, we did a team project called Sales Project. Each group had six members, and we needed to earn more money than other groups. At first, we got 5 million won from this program, and each group chose their items and sold them. Muffins, rice balls, folding fans... we sold diverse items and made much money by ourselves! We donated that money to social welfare centers and NGOs like World Vision and Good Neighbors.

You might be curious about our activities abroad. Our first destination was Hong Kong, and we got there by plane on June 26. We visited Hong Kong Ocean Park, and there were a zoo, an aquarium, rides, and a cable car. After visiting there, we went to the hotel and wrote a letter to our parents and sent them to Korea. The next day, we moved to Macao and looked around Saint Paul’s Catholic Church and Senado Square. At night, we had a class about presentation. We drew lots to decide who would present and half of the students presented about their dream for three minutes in front of others. Through this, we got to know each other well and thought about our vision seriously. The next day, we stayed in China, Shenzhen and Guangzhou, and visited enterprises and had a special lecture from our alumnus who works in China. We also went sightseeing and had special programs like group presentations and mock interviews. We came back to Korea on July 2, and we had confidence in ourselves and encouragement through this program.

If you want to be a Global Career School member, never hesitate and knock on the Job Support Center’s door. The destination of the next students is Europe! You can get more information here: Job Support Center (http://jobs.kmu.ac.kr), Job Café (http://cafe.naver.com/jobvs).
