Public Officer Qualification Exam Mentoring Seminar Held for Junior Mentees
Korea University Business School (Dean=Kim Jae Wook) Career Hub held the ‘Public Officer Qualification Exam Mentoring Seminar’ at Hyundai Motor Hall on Tuesday, July 2. This seminar was the first seminar, where attendees mainly talked about how to prepare for the public officer qualification exam. In this day's event, three mentors of Choi Yoon-seok (KUBS 00), Lee Seung-hoon (KUBS 05) and Oh Dong-eun (KUBS 11) who passed the exam gave their generous advice to the audience.
In Part 1, mentors talked about how to prepare for the exam. In response to a question asking about how he first decided to prepare for the exam, Oh, who works for the Office of State Coordination, said, "I had great interest in enterprise activities," and went on saying, “Government policy has huge impact on enterprise activities, so I hoped to engage in such a meaningful job by becoming a public officer." One student questioned “How can we get most out of school lectures?”. Oh replied, "Lectures can be helpful to find out what type of subject they are. Micro and macroeconomics lectures, as well as administrative law lecture were very helpful in preparing for the exam." Choi, who works at the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy, replied to a question asking about his experience in ‘Exam preparation class (Takmajung)’. He said, "I have received immense help from my classmates during my hard times. Those who graduated Takmajung are currently working in various departments, and this also helps me in work.
In Part 2, mentors shared their own stories related to work experience. "In fact, almost all the ministries are located in Sejong city, so advantages and disadvantages coexist,” replied Oh, according to the question about his current job satisfaction. He also added, "There is merit in that there are well-organized systems such as parental leave, I think.” When asked about the work environment, Choi said, "The working environment and job satisfaction depends on which ministry you work at." He went on saying, “We usually do business related to law revision and budget, and also cooperate with other departments to prepare countermeasures for various issues."
The seminar, which lasted for nearly two hours, was filled with useful preparation tips and practical information about work experience. The three mentors said, "We wish you a good luck in your exams.”
