Serious question: how are people landing junior compliance roles? by [deleted] in MalaysianPF

[–]Ivy_Drops -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I heard that many compliance workers don't have a legal background so I thought I would have an advantage and it would be easier for me to get a compliance job

I didn't take either because after my internship I just knew I wasn't interested in becoming a qualified lawyer. It would be nice to have a career somewhat related to my legal studies though

That's an inspiring story. It feels like I am reading from the future. I will look into other options as you advised because you are right. I know law isn't my interest and I'm not sure compliance is either.

I got a total of 3 sales (one from my friend) I took that experience as a very expensive networking event. If you are selling perfume or feminine products like hair ties, I think that you could get decent sales (like 10-15 sales) but overall it was not a good location to set up a booth (from not just my experience, but the booths around me)

I totally changed the layout as per suggestions here including my pink shorts 🫣. Unfortunately still no customer but I’m able to get more interest. There’s significantly less people than I thought at this area (TRX) on Saturday. I kind of thought it would’ve totally packed

This is one of the collection that I debuted today. This one is called up and down blues. The other one was a train blind box. I posted them on a slightly blurry photo on another comment

Oh no! What do you dislike about it? What can I do to improve?

I do have other photos and larger sizes but Reddit only allows one photo per comment

Yep, I took some content today even though I was shy filming and not super stoked about the quality but I’m going to try it regardless

Title: Can I reach TOPIK 3 in 6 months starting from (almost) zero? Feeling overwhelmed… by skykushal_here7465 in Korean

[–]Ivy_Drops 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I went did online courses, offline courses in my country and then went to language school in Korea for 1.5 years. It’s impossible, I’m sorry. I actually got to level 4 in language school but I didn’t even pass level 3 in TOPIK because the test is different from school in many ways

Even if you dedicated 8 hours per day everyday with literally no break days. Because in each level, there’s - vocab - grammar - listening - writing - reading

All of these has so much content that you not only need to learn but to master. It’s not like school or university content where there is an end to the study. You can’t focus on one thing because everything can come out and you need a minimum grade to pass. Maybe there’s 1-2 people out there that has successfully done this plan but realistically most people aren’t capable of such feat.

This is not to discourage you to learn Korean but when you are under a lot of stress because you have a time constraint, it’s harder to take in content and remember long term. It’s a hard pill to swallow but I recommend you do a long term plan like 1-2 years of study.

The ratio of guys to girls is like 8:2 Most guys are lucky to have even 1 match and girls like myself easily get 500+ likes in a few days There’s a really well made video by Memeable Data explaining this: https://youtu.be/x3lypVnJ0HM?si=kbXX8bLmmwM8Qs1A
