The Best Intern Experience

I used to work in Korea as a teacher and hated it. Instead, I was looking to find a way to gain experience in the industry I am most passionate about (movies and entertainment) while living in Seoul. When I found this internship at Asia Lab I wasn't sure what to expect as it sounded too good to be true. But I was willing to try anything to chase my dreams.
Needless to say, I am so happy I decided to do this internship. I have had amazing experiences and learned A LOT about the Korean entertainment industry. I was directly involved in meetings and got to work on projects I never would have dreamed of working on before. I also got to practice using Korean which was something I always felt I never had the opportunity to do while teaching. This internship really helped me "level up" not only my career skills but my language skills as well.
The team at Asia Lab was also incredibly supportive. They helped me with food, housing, made sure I understood my visa situation and overall guided me through my time in Korea well. The biggest draw to me for this internship over others was that they guaranteed me a full refund, for any reason, if I decided I couldn't come to Korea and join them for the program. Most of the other internships I looked into stated that I could only get a refund if they couldn't "match me" with a good company before my program start date. This internship is done directly with Asia Lab so I didn't have to worry about "matching" with a company. I was working and communicating directly with the company to set up and customize my internship.
The only downside of this internship was leaving it. The team at Asia Lab became like my family while I was in Korea and I couldn't have imagined a better internship experience. Major shout out to CEO Lee for creating this opportunity for people interested in this business. This is a rare opportunity that I hope others are able to enjoy as much as I did.
