Welcome to the beginning of an exciting chapter in your South Korea internship journey! You have packed your bags, booked your flights, and now it is time for one of the most important steps of your adventure: the Internship Orientation (OT). This is where you will learn how to navigate life and work in South Korea like a pro, and maybe even pick up a few fun Korean phrases along the way! 😎✈️
Whether you are from the bustling streets of New York or the tranquil villages of the UK, stepping into a new culture can feel overwhelming. But do not worry, we have your back! The Internship OT will help ease your transition and give you the tools you need to succeed in South Korea. Here is what you need to know:
The Internship Orientation (OT) takes place on the Friday before your internship begins, at 4:00 PM sharp. You will be gathering at the office to prepare for the Monday start of your internship. This will be your first official taste of South Korea's working culture, so come ready to dive in!
Getting here is easy! The office is located in a central area of Seoul. Just hop on the subway and follow the instructions on our website and you can ask your cooridnator again. It is just a short walk from the subway station, so there is no need to worry about getting lost.
This is an easy one! All you need to bring to the OT is your open mind and your good attitude. South Korea can be a culture shock, but we promise – with the right mindset, it is the best kind of shock! Leave your worries behind and come ready to learn and laugh with fellow interns and staff. We will cover everything from basic cultural tips to the nitty-gritty of work life in Korea.
The OT is 60-90 minutes, depending on how many questions you have (and trust us, there will be questions). It is an interactive session, so feel free to ask everything that has been buzzing around your head about living and working in South Korea. From “How do I use public transport?” to “How do I address my boss?” – we have got you covered.
You are about to embark on an amazing journey, and the OT is here to set you up for success. Here is a sneak peek at what we will cover:
Think of this orientation as your get-to-know-Korea cheat sheet! We know there is a lot on your mind, and we encourage you to ask ALL your questions during OT. Wondering how to impress your boss in Korea? Curious about the best food spots near your office? This is the perfect time to ask.
Remember: Korea’s work culture can be a bit different from what you are used to. From the hierarchy in the office to the nuances of communication, there is a lot to learn. That is why the Orientation will guide you through all the key points to make your internship a smooth ride. And let us not forget – it is also your chance to meet your fellow interns and bond over shared experiences and future adventures. 🤝
