[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Cho Hyung-joo] Honam University (President Park Sang-chul) announced on the 29th that it held the 2nd ‘K Spec-up Foreign Student Employment Camp - Design the Hidden Me!’ from the 25th to the 27th to strengthen the employment competitiveness of foreign students.

This event was conducted by accepting applications from students who wish to work at Korean or global companies, targeting undergraduate juniors and seniors as well as graduate students in master's and doctoral programs from China, Vietnam, and Uzbekistan.

In particular, feedback from trainees who wanted to visit company sites during the first camp last year was reflected in this second camp, and students were divided into two groups based on their Korean language proficiency to maximize educational effectiveness.

On the first day, activities included ‘self SWOT analysis through various tests and training on writing job application documents’; on the second day, ‘writing English resumes and self-introduction letters, corporate analysis presentation contests, and practical interview simulations’; and on the final third day, ‘interview image-making through personal color diagnosis and company visits’ were conducted, enabling each student to design their own future and establish a basic mindset to challenge their desired companies.

Nguyen Thi Phuong, a Vietnamese student majoring in Business Administration in her fourth year who wishes to work in production management at a Korean company, said, “The vague dream I had about working in Korea became more concrete through this employment camp, and I am grateful to the school and the International Exchange Office for preparing such a diverse and valuable experience.”

Son Wan-yi, Director of the International Exchange Office, promised, “Even amid the COVID-19 situation, we will fully play a role in upgrading K-SPEC for over 1,400 foreign students and invest various methods and budgets to help them achieve their long-held dreams.”
