WHY TSM Silicon Valley
Motivation for TSM:
TSM is not something that will always be offered to me. After university graduation, there will be no such thing as "TSM". I had never went on a study trip before. Hence, I will like to take this opportunity and go for at least a study trip before I graduate and stepping into the working industry.
Why Silicon Valley:
Silicon Valley is known for it's IT industries. Since I'm studying IT and going to work in the IT industry, it will be a very good exposure for me to visit Silicon Valley and learn how each famous IT company works!
INTERNSHIP Opportunities
Companies like Apple, Google & Facebook interests me a lot.
I always wonder how Apple is manage to grab the attention of so many people into buying their products! I am also curious on how Google, as a search engine in the early days, was able to acquire a lot of companies now. I will also like to know how Facebook was able to capture and retain users' attention!
STARTING a Business
Type of business I'm interested in:
- Social Media
- IT Solutions
- IT Security
Plans in Starting a Business:
Giving IT solutions for business could be a possible direction that I'm going towards to. Of course, I will need a lot of experience before starting a business like this. I must be knowledgeable before giving advices to others.
PAST Experience
When young, my friend and I co-operate a small scale business selling handmade items. We will gather feedback from our clients and also research on the cheapest place to buy the material. Based on the feedback and material cost, we will decide on a suitable pricing that will enable us to earn some pocket money. Also, we will discuss among ourselves to make sure that we are able to produce the good before the deadline.
