I applied through college or university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Samsung Electronics (Giheung) in Dec 2012
Interview
Samsung Electronics Device Solutions; for international students in South Korea.
First step was to fill out an application form (including a cover letter where they already tell you about what you should write, i.e. relationship, pros and cons, etc.) and make a 3 min video answering 3 questions:
- Why did you choose to come to Korea?
- What do you like the most in Korea?
- Why did you apply for the Samsung Electronics Internship Program?
Next step was an interview at Samsung. All the applicants were divided into 2 days and then one after the other had the interview. There were also 2 teams interviewing. Before you enter the room they watched your video and then you sat in front of 4 people. It looked like a examination but I felt comfortable in there.
After that you receive an email whether you are accepted or not.
