The
following are comments from previous interns about their internship experience
with the U.S. Commercial
Service in Korea:
“When you
hear the word ‘intern’ what comes to your mind first? A person scurrying for
coffee and papers? Or a person chasing after constant telephone rings and
facing battles with an old copy machine? If you find yourself worrying about
managing all those tedious chores, you are more than welcome to dispel such
ideas once you set foot in the U.S. Commercial Service Korea. Here you will be
involved in a host of eye-widening experiences. You will be exposed to a world
of researching, composing reports, preparing for meetings from beginning to
end, and networking with not only officers and interns within the Embassy but
also business people from both Korean and American firms. When you leave the
Embassy, don’t get too overwhelmed by how much you have grown up!” – Kim, Mi
Rae/ Yonsei University/ Intern, Winter 2010 – Spring 2011
“If you are seeking to broaden your views and perspectives
in the ‘real business world’, I can tell you that this internship will present
you with the complete guide to embarking on your future career. You will be put
in charge of so many different tasks ranging from producing marketing materials
to drafting market feasibility reports that will eventually be viewed by
high-profile business people. As a CS Korea intern, I can assure you that there
will never be a dull moment as you will learn how to efficiently multitask and
prioritize your given tasks under the guidance of the Commercial Specialist.
I am very
proud of the fact that my small contribution and commitment have created some
positive outcomes for both Korea and U.S. businesses; no doubt you will learn
and do the same once you join CS Korea as an intern. Jo, Yu Jin / Busan
University of Foreign Studies / Intern, Winter – Spring 2012
Here, unlike
other internship programs, I could get involved in a variety of projects and events
with more responsibility and freedom. I was fortunate to have had an
opportunity to contribute to a state trade mission by working closely with my
specialist, designing the whole process of the meetings, preparing market
research for seven different US companies, and participating in conference
calls to narrow down their business goals. The most challenging part for me was
to engage in the project as a real professional at the forefront of trade
between two countries, but I have overcome all challenges with self-confidence
and pride.
As a college
senior, I had never thought about meeting the President of the United States in
person. I had never thought about exchanging my name card with the
representatives from different states. I had never thought about participating
in meetings with high level people from a number of companies. The U.S.
Commercial Service made
it all happen. For the last six months, my days were filled with many colorful
experiences and memorable lessons. I have learned what to expect in a real
business world, and I have learned to put theories into practice. Now I work
with broader perspective and see things from different angles. – Lee, Ji Hoon,
Hanyang University – 2012 Spring-Summer Internship

My 6 months
in CS Korea, U.S. Embassy was a very long and worthwhile period full of real
professional experience. As an intern of CS Korea, I had chances to prepare and
participate in numerous business meetings and all the events followed by the
visit of the Secretary of Commerce. Those experiences were very challenging at
the moment, but were truly a special opportunity that I would have never
experienced in any other internships. I am very thankful for all the
opportunities and duties that I had as an intern in U.S. Embassy, and I am
certain that this internship will have impact in my life for the next 60 years,
as it was mentioned in the recruitment.

2014 / Sin-Ye Sung, Senior / Seoul National University
Closely working with the energy specialist for
six months, I was imbued with not only comprehensive knowledge on energy
sector, but also valuable work ethics, a sense of responsibility, and genuine
interest in the particular area. I vividly recall the moment when about 40
business meetings with executive members of both US and Korean energy companies
were held in just two days during the Trade Mission with Secretary Penny
Pritzker. Without the challenge, I would still be uncertain on how to
concentrate my time, energy and insights to achieve certain important tasks.
Moreover, every single workday was spent with nine other interns filling the
office, albeit in different sectors. Getting to know and cherish each other was
certainly one of the most amazing parts of this internship as most sincere
appreciation, encouragement, and love came from such relationships. After the
six months of internship, I am now delineating my future plans as a better
experienced person.
