Why Virtual TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
TSM will provide me with valuable exposure to start a company and has a practical way of teaching, which is rare to find.
I have heard from seniors that TSM is very helpful for work and is excellent exposure for me. TSM trains you to have an entrepreneur's
mindset.
I also have the ability to speak and read conversational Korean.
- Where would you like to visit?
Seoul, tech hub.
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
I am interested in starting an internship version of glassdoor review. Where interns can rate companies based on their internship experience, was it saikang, or was it a truly enriching experience. I managed to make a website with it with several intelligent friends, you may find it here: https://intern-fyi.herokuapp.com/HTML/home.php. However, I am not sure whether I should get it started, or even how to do so. How will I know if there is a demand?
- What plans do you have in starting a business?
None for now, still praying about it. I promised my mother not to start a business now because she was scared my business will become successful or extremely distracting and I would drop out of SMU. Will see how God leads me.
Past Experiences (optional)
Startup:
- Peer Advisor – Singapore Management University (Jan 2021)
Students ask me anything under the sun! But usually, they want to pay school fees or parking lot tickets. Sometimes I have to deal with very emotional students who just need someone to talk to. I help exchange students with anything under the sun, from "How to get my trace together token working" to "What is a good mobile plan?"
