The Talent HR Managers Want

Even if the job market is tough, finding good talent is equally challenging. It's truly ironic.

Recently, a university asked me to mentor students aspiring for jobs in public enterprises. With my experience in HR, I felt I had useful insights to offer and happily accepted.

Contemplating my advice, I decided to create a diagram. To summarize everything, I translated the key points into English, making them easier to remember and discuss like a puzzle.

The ideal candidate for an HR manager is summarized as "USA"

This stands for Unique qualities (U), Self-driven to create added value (S), and having a positive Attitude (A).

Such individuals exceed expectations, plan thoroughly, execute effectively, check results, and find improvements (PDCA).

When planning, they don't just brainstorm randomly. They research demand, consider their approach, highlight the value and impact, and compare with competitors to propose a strategy (NABC approach).

Adopting these three habits will help you be recognized as top talent. While being fully prepared is ideal, such expectations can seem overwhelming and unfamiliar, causing confusion and frustration. However, mastering the three foundational habits below will make achieving the above attributes easier.

The three basic efforts are reading, writing or drawing concepts, and regular exercise.

Reading might seem trivial, but through writing or conceptualizing, it enhances your thinking skills. I recommend choosing books you’re interested in from a library or bookstore. Local libraries are excellent resources these days.

Wishing you the best of luck...

Introducing Gyeonggi Techno Park

Introducing Gyeonggi Techno Park, a source of pride for me. The South Korean government identified Silicon Valley as the driving force behind the Third Industrial Revolution in the United States and formulated a medium to long-term plan for strengthening the technological infrastructure in 1995. To foster regional-specific strategic projects and achieve national balanced development, it established a special law on supporting industrial technology complexes and designated regional technoparks in 1998. In Gyeonggi Province, six regions participated in a competition to attract technopark projects, among which the consortium backed by the national industrial complex Smart Hub, located in Ansan City, was selected as the operator of Gyeonggi Techno Park. Since its establishment in 1998, it has attracted government-funded projects to nurture bio, robotics, IT, and automotive small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Simultaneously, it aimed to attract overseas global companies and national

Have a Dream!

  "Have a Dream!" According to the research conducted by Dr. Kim Seung-gi at Columbia University in the United States in 2008, among 1,400 Korean students admitted to prestigious American universities from 1985 to 2007, the dropout rate was 44%. This was significantly higher compared to 34% for American students, 25% for Chinese students, 21% for Indian students, and 13% for Jewish students. Additionally, there was an embarrassing statistic that 90% of Asian students failing at Harvard University were Koreans. The reason for this was attributed to Korean students lacking long-term goals and dreams. "What is the perfect life for me?" This is a question posed by Bob Buford in "Halftime" to those who chase material wealth throughout their lives. Bob points out that there are other games to play besides winning or losing, and that there are numerous other games being played on different fields. He experienced success anxiety even though he inherited a broadcas

It must be ethical

  It must be ethical. Recently, CEOs of major corporations have been suffering. Kim Seung-yeon, the chairman of Hanwha Group, was detained, and CJ Chairman Lee Jae-hyun is also under suspicion of slush funds and more. With the revelation of offshore tax evasion lists, many influential figures in society are facing moral challenges. The government is showing determination to impose strict legal responsibility for disrupting the chaebol's constitutional order, but it remains to be seen. The global financial crisis reoccurred due to moral laxity in the subprime mortgage crisis of 2008. The theme of the 2010 Davos Forum was "Creating a Better World." For this purpose, rethinking, redesigning, and reconstructing were discussed. The shift towards moral capitalism began to be visualized to overcome the limitations of neoliberal capitalism. Why should we be ethical? By reading Doug Renick's "Now It's Ethical," we can reconsider its importance. According to resea
