Jung-Sup (Anthony) Park

Jung-Sup Park's dream is to be Korea's youngest Chief Executive Officer and so far he is right on track towards achieving his goal.Currently the 33 year old is a Project Manager for Hyundai Rotem Company in South Korea. He is part of the international sales and marketing team and prepares the bids for railway projects.Jung-Sup says South Korea is one of the largest rolling stock manufacturers in the world with annual sales of approximately US$1 billon (Year 2002). Rotem manufactures a variety of railway vehicles, including electric multiple units, diesel multiple units, high speed trains, light-rail vehicles, locomotives, passenger coaches and freight wagons.Jung-Sup says the business skills he gained on his course helped him get where he is today. He found the Applied Management paper particularly impressive and interesting.�I remember that it was really hard and it took a lot of time to prepare the report and presentation. However, presenting our final report in front of teachers was very beneficial for me. I am now more confident and I have a lot of knowledge.�Jung-Sup says the environment is good at AIS St Helens and there are many activities for students. He adds that the teachers relate well to their students.�I can clearly remember two teachers- Marion McEwing and Jenny Henshaw. They were like my mother. In class, they were so kind and their teaching was excellent, so I was never bored. Whenever I had a question, they gave me feedback with a kind answer and a smile. I had a great class, so that is why I can work in a large corporation such as Hyundai Motors group.�Jung-Sup's advice to other international students is to make the most of their New Zealand experience.�Of course students must study hard, but at the same time they should go shopping, traveling, clubbing and have a part-time job as well. Then they will become mature and improve their abilities and English skills.�
