“Possessing a broad perspective gained through diverse international experiences”
Security officers on duty are exposed to sudden situations, so I believe they must possess broad perspectives, problem-solving abilities, and the flexibility to adapt to any circumstance through diverse experiences. During my university years, I sought to communicate with diverse people. Through overseas experiences and challenges like the Australian Working Holiday, overseas volunteer programs, international travel, and overseas internships, I lived alongside many foreigners, communicated with them, experienced their cultures, and shared mutual values. I recall volunteering overseas, teaching Taekwondo to local residents in Madagascar. For two weeks, I guided the children, staying up late into the night to plan the next day’s training sessions, ensuring they could learn about Korea’s martial art, Taekwondo, in an enjoyable way. As time passed, when I shouted the taekwondo commands “One, two,” the children would follow loudly. During training, I was a strict taekwondo instructor, but during breaks, I played around with the children like the best of friends. The most rewarding moments were when the children, who were initially shy, called me by name and demonstrated each move they had learned right in front of me. Through the time spent blending in with the children, becoming one with them, and getting to know each other, I learned a great deal. It seems the most important thing in communicating with others is the effort to connect with them and a sincere heart. I will always strive to maintain this attitude.

“Understanding People’s Diversity Through Volunteer Work”
In 2020, I had the opportunity to volunteer near my school. The first place I visited, the ○○○ Rehabilitation Center, was a community created to help members with intellectual disabilities adapt to social life. As a volunteer activity I started alone, it felt like a heavy burden. The director asked me to assist with bathing the members. But since it was my first time doing this, I was scared and afraid. Most members were adults, so they were heavy, and it was physically demanding work. But knowing they desperately needed someone’s help, I persevered despite the difficulty. While the members might have felt uncomfortable with another person’s touch, they accepted it with open hearts, understanding I was there to assist them. On weekends, I played soccer with the members as a team. To foster teamwork, I tried to connect with them by talking at their level and learned about their hobbies and favorite celebrities. Though our age groups differed greatly, I understood the members’ perspectives to engage with them and showed them a sincerity I rarely displayed elsewhere.
Another challenge arose when members’ eagerness to learn clashed with their limited comprehension, creating mutual feelings of guilt. Yet I devised various approaches to explain things at their level, striving to see things from their viewpoint. As a result, one friend passed the high school equivalency exam and now teaches ethics to juvenile offenders at a reformatory. This experience taught me how to open my heart and show consideration for others, and I was deeply moved by the members’ efforts, despite their limitations.
Through this experience, I learned to understand and naturally accept diversity, along with the importance of teamwork. Armed with this knowledge, I will become an ADT Caps employee who thinks from the customer’s perspective.

“Developing the ability to solve problems flexibly with a proactive attitude”
Having been outgoing since childhood, I actively participated in school life during middle and high school, serving as cheer squad captain and leading my classmates in cheering during sports festivals. Even during my senior year of high school, when everyone was frantically focused on studying, I resolved to run for the class president, believing I should dedicate my final school days to serving everyone. Amid the pressure of being a test-taker, I comforted and guided friends struggling with the stress. Through these challenging times, I learned the communication skills and sense of responsibility required of a leader within a group.
On my first solo train trip, I got on the wrong train and wandered around for a day or two. But after a few trial-and-error experiences, I met other travelers and was able to have a proper journey. I also gained the guts and courage to just dive in. This mindset solidified further during my recent six-month language study program in Canada. Though initially intimidated by a completely unfamiliar place with no one I knew, I soon found joy in meeting friends from diverse countries and exchanging our cultures. As a member of ADT Caps, the insights gained through these varied experiences will enable me to flexibly handle any challenges and continuously forge new paths.
While my starting salary as a new employee may be modest, I will strive to earn the salary I desire within a year.
