The 2nd Career Mentoring Session by the GSIS Career Development Center
(Advisor: Professor Lee, Jeon-Kap) was held on October 6th. The mentoring
session was designed for those who would like to pursue their careers in
international organizations, and reflecting GSIS students’ high interest in
international organizations, many students including international students
attended the session. As mentors for the session, GSIS research students
Sung Eun Lee (UNESCO Consultant) and Mi Hyun Lee (UNDP Intern), and
SNU graduate Seung Sok Ryu (ILO Intern) were invited and shared their work
experiences at the international organizations. They talked about different
tracks of getting an internship at international organizations, types of work
they did, and what they felt while working in those organizations. Listening
to the speakers’ presentations on their actual experiences, students were
able to see the differences between working at headquarters and field offices
of international organizations, and also pros and cons of working in those organizations.
The 3rd Career Mentoring Session will be held this Thursday (10/13) before midterms.
International graduates from GSIS who are currently working at Hyundai Motors and
Samsung C&T will be invited and share their experiences of working in Korean companies.
We look forward to seeing many students at the session.
