[Success Stories] Jong Yoon Nam (Business, ’08) & Juyoung Baek (Business, ’08)
“Find a Job That Fits Your Skills and Interests”
“Find a Job That Fits Your Skills and Interests”
1. Before getting ready to find a job I have joined Samchully City Gas Business this year and am in charge of Policy and Systems at the Business Support Team. I have a double major in Business Administration and Sociology. I personally think the most helpful experience in finding a job was participating in a business academic society. I was able to develop my logical thinking through industry-academia seminars and projects and also had an internship opportunity. I have experienced my field of interest directly and indirectly.
2. The reasons I chose this company
Due to the nature of the city gas business, the company is quite stable. I also heard the overall welfare of the company is favorable. Although my main task is planning, it is different from business planning and more related to law. My job is attractive because I can lead the company’s growth by changing something. In addition, I think our team is in charge of the most central tasks in the company. Among many projects at Samchully, the most important business is city gas, and “Business Support Team” is on the forefront of the city gas business. I strongly believe this experience will be a stepping stone for my growth journey.
3. Cover Letter (Personal Statement)
When writing my cover letter, I received help from the people in the related field and made a habit of collecting the most up-to-date issues to understand the job. I wrote my cover letter multiple times and asked my friends and the Career Development Center to proofread it.
1. Before getting ready to find a job I work as a credit analyst in the Business Finance Department at BNP Paribas CIB, Seoul branch, the French largest bank. During my undergraduate, I joined the Value Investing Academic Society for 6 months and studied about the listed companies and industries in KOSPI. This has led me to participate in internships at Fitch Ratings, which is an international credit analysis institution, and BNP Paribas CIB. These internship opportunities helped me find my specific career path. I was able to overcome my shortcomings by taking practical advice from the business world. When applying for an international financial company, it is difficult for entry-level job seekers to have competitiveness as companies prefer experienced candidates. An internship is a good way to accumulate business knowledge and enhance competitiveness.
2. Describe your job duties
I analyze financial statements of major firms and multinational groups located in Korea and assess the internal ratings and industry reports in order to assist companies to start business.
3. The reasons I chose this company
I’ve always had an interest in Finance and Accounting during my undergraduate studies. I enjoyed analyzing companies and industries. With that being said, a credit analyst was an attractive job to me because they analyze different dangers of the company and assess appropriate ratings to help diverse stakeholders in making decisions. As BNP Paribas CIB is an international company and was selected as the world’s best bank, I had an expectation that the company can develop me through systematic systems and education.
