[K-Move] Developing Your Career with Mentorship

October 27, 2020 - The Korea Society is pleased to join KOTRA in presenting valuable lessons on career development through the K-Move program series. K-Move is a project that KOTRA has been organizing for younger Korean audiences abroad, while inviting leading professionals from different fields to share their stories on employment and settlement in the U.S.

In this meaningful program, the Society and KOTRA, as co-hosts, will offer words of hope and encouragement to the young Korean professionals of today with their life and career experiences.

The recent pandemic and its enormous impact on the global economy have led to unfortunate and difficult situations for Korean job seekers in the U.S. The experienced group of mentors invited will provide useful advice and directions on how we could overcome those challenges in this unprecedented time.

[K-Move] Developing Your Career with Mentorship will consist of two separate sessions. In the first part, a renowned guest speaker, Soonkyu Shin, will talk about his success as a 22-year veteran of Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH) as well as a writer despite the challenges as a blind person. Mr. Shin will share his life experiences on how he immigrated to the United States, chose his career, overcame challenges, and set up his life mottos and plans.

In the second part, we will provide practical employment tips that could be immediately applicable to the real-life situation. This will be held in a form of ‘panel discussion’, which will be led by a moderator, William Juhn, Attorney at Eisenberg & Baum's Law Center for Deaf and Hard of Hearing and with two successful Korean American mentors: Esther Ahn, Head of User Experience for YouTube TV, and Ye Jin Kim, Senior Vice President, Global Creative at IT Cosmetics. They will not only share the episodes of their employment process, their employment strategies, but also will prospect potential limitations and solutions in the current job market. The discussion will be followed by a 10 minute Q&A session.
