Why Virtual TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
Growing up in a family of entrepreneur, it has always been one of my aspirations to start my own business. Since young, I enjoy observing the world and come out with innovative solutions to solve problems. After coming into university, I had the chance to be involved in technical projects and participated in various competitions. I also had an opportunity to work for a tech startup last year where I was exposed to the dynamic and highly motivated working culture. All these experiences had grown my interest in “Technoprenuership” and I would love to explore more of it through this opportunity. Joining TSM would certainly widen my perspective of what it really means to problem-solve and I also hope it will inspire me even more to want to start my own technological start up. Thus, I believe this would be a very good opportunity for me to be further grow myself with great startup insights and wisdom, as I get to learn more about how these “initial start-ups” grows into one of the top few companies in the world in present day.
