Hello, everybody. 

Let me briefly introduce myself. I am a sophomore in mechanical design engineering at the University of Chunbuk in South Korea. As soon as I was discharged from the military in July, 2013 in Korea. I got a phone call from my cousin in Northbrook, IL. She advised me to study English at ORT Technical Institute. She heard ORT has a great ESL program through ORT Korean advisor Soowon Kwon who has known her for a long time. My cousin really wants me to take advantage of good ESL school to improve my English skill. I am confident studying English at ORT will be beneficial for me. I am so excited to study English and make new friends at ORT Technical Institute.

I started my 1^st job out of school was working 20-30 hours (part-time) for Café Descante as Store Manager/IT Tech Support.  My IT Tech Support duties included: computer knowledge, upgrading software, troubleshooting, technology support, computer maintenance, and in store purchasing orders/inventory.

I still continued applying daily a minimum of 2 applications per day in search of a higher paying and full-time IT position. I researched and applied to jobs daily through Craigslist, careerbuilder, and other websites that Career Services recommended. A few months later I was offered a full-time IT Agent position.
