Hana Bank is one of the leading banking companies in South Korea, behind Shinhan Financial Group, Kookmin Bank, and Woori. Hana Bank was founded in 1991. It took over Chungchong Bank and was merged with Boram Bank in 1998, and later it acquired the government-owned Seoul Bank in 2002. Hana Financial Group offers commercial and retail banking, insurance, trust services, currency exchange, and credit cards through more than 625 branches. Hana Bank established itself as a private bank serving wealthy clients; it carries about a third of the nation's market share of private customers. The company's international growth plans include ventures in China, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and the former Soviet republics; it also hopes to target Korean clients in the US and Europe. In 2007 it bought a majority stake in Indonesia's Bank Bintang Manunggal. It also established Hana Bank China, which now operates about a dozen branches and offices. Then in 2008 it announced plans to buy a 20% stake in Bank of Jilin, which has more than 200 branches in northeastern China. There are numerous reasons I applied for the internship. I think choosing my career before I actually get to know it is like marrying someone I have never met. This world experience will help me to make more educated career choices. I believe that this is my chance to start explore careers in different fields and investigate specific areas within my current area of interest (Finance). I also believe this will enhance my academic experience and performance. Not only I can apply the theories that I learned in class to real experience, but I can also take those experience back into the classroom. Through internship, I can develop a greater appreciation for how my academic assignments and accomplishments translate to the world of work. Moreover, the internship will provide me a chance to enhance my human network; developing professional contacts in the field can help me to get hired and get ahead in my career. I believer this could be a great opportunity for me to make connections with professionals in my field and establish lasting relationships. I heard that many companies use internships as extended interviews for full time employment. If I succeed and excel in my internship, I will definitely have a competitive edge over an unknown resume submitter. This is the first internship in my life and I am very nervous. But I will try my best to get and learn what I need from this experience and try my best to meet the company’s expectation.
