Book/Self-introduction

1. Tell me you started to like reading books

• When I was in Canada, there was NO friend to spend time with and if I have a problem in my daily life, I had no answer. For example, I have an anxiety problem. I am worried about so many little things. but I couldn’t discuss everything with my parents in korean. They don’t relate to me like language problems, housing troubles.
• So I started to look for books to solve my problem in my daily life. Not just getting knowledge, by reading I feel I am talking to friends who actually relate to me.

 
 

2. What about now? Has your taste changed?

If you ask me when I was much younger, From literature to IT professional books

• It has been changed more diverse, but particularly in IT Professional
• Since my job is making Technical product like android or iOS app, web I need really more professional knowledge, information like fintech in business-wise or user-experiences-wise and digital marketing strategy.
• At my workplace, what I can do is saving my background information by reading in my brain
• In a nutshell, it helped me to create and report benchmarking references for boss when I need them.
• This is how my music tastes have shifted over the years

 

3. How do you decide which books to read?

 
I subscribed book influencers like winter bookstore ‘she is one of the 1st generation of youtuber in korea’

• saved her recommendations in my phone
• what I most like about her is she sentimental and logical when she explains why she likes the books with reasonable explanations

• In my spare time, I go to the big book store or second-hand bookstore to see if there are her recommendation and read a few pages, if I like it, I pick them up
  • I don’t think I would pick the books just because they are best-sellers.
  • If the book title hooks me, that’s a green flag
  • But I should read to see if this actually makes sense to me
  • then I can gladly open my wallet
• If the books are very helpful and knowledgeable at my workplace or personal growth, I decide to make a purchase.

 

3.1 Best book

‘A note from the IT service planners’ it’s about a collection of the product managers stories, how to deal with the colleagues or people at work.

• The reason why I chose is that
  • I was so demotivated lately because of a trouble with my boss. For example, I have a belief that I need to set up KPI or OKR of my work with customer-centric mindset but she is the one whoh emphasize deadline. And I feel the quality of my work is getting worse. My career is getting behind. She is not capable.
  • Have you heard ‘Sunday scaries’? When the sunday comes, I am not able to get sleep because going to work on monday is so annoying and so awful for me.
• But the book helped me to get over it. And the advices from the book is accepting it as it is.
• People are having the same experiences with me and their experiences are encouraging me.

 

4. Shopping pattern (Taste change, Decision-making)

I do not have regular shopping pattern but I love going to lotte department store in jamsil on my own. Customers are mostly foreigner, the biggest one in south korea.

• the department is nearby 석촌 lake and lotte amusement park. I can walk along the lake and If I have enough time, I go inside the department and browse luxury brand.
• Particulary, I had a special experienes of Gucci brand. When I visited Gucci brand, the staffs were really sweet she walked me through every gucci items like bags, clothes. Literally they made me a kinda princess. Their compliments were so smooth and unforgettable.
• It’s sorta self-care for me.
• Okay, let’s get back to the subject. My decision making process is to browsing accessories and clothes and I take picture and save in my phone, but if the staff are nice enough to open wallets, I gladly picked them up
• Their behaviors and manners are so important to me

5. Product complaint

To begin with, I am using the review system with the details

• For example, I ordered the phone case, if it’s broken, I take a picture and upload on the review system with the description.
• I want the sellers to absorb tough feedback to grow themselves and learn what the customers pain-points and what they might be looking for in terms of quality, design and prices as well
• Some people say this is harsh but I don’t agree with that. These reviews are good for future enhancements.
• This is how I complain about the product, If I don’t satisfy

6. Self introduction

However, I am aiming for global experiences which requires verified certificates. And I believe that Opic test can prove my oral communication.
• And my job! I am a product manager of the software. If you don’t have knowledge about the technology or the job, I can explain with layman terms. My job is very similiar to building a house except I design software. Reseaching - Plan - Design - Implement - Test, During the whole process, I am deeply involved in each stage.

    • you could associate my position with kakao, naver. I admire them so much
• Stress management
  • Lately what’s on my mind, I define the stress with proper words 'problem'

• This is who I am. Hope you understand me enough. 

 
 

House

7. I would like to know where you live. Describe your house in detail. What does it look like? How many rooms do you have?

 

I live in a studio, one-room

• It’s located in jayang-dong nearby han river, which is the whole point of why I chose this neighborhood. Hopefully, I wish I had an apartment with the huge window view and fancy house appliances.
• Nevertheless, I love my studio so much because I have control and love having me time on my own, it was very hard to get solitude. my parents do not nag me, there are home appliances and interior thing with my own tastes. I can focus on myself without anyone

10. Can you tell me about the household appliances in you house? What is your favorite one among them? Why do you like it most?

My favorite thing is imac and few aesthetic photo frame

• the photo frames are on the wall, it has bold and vivid color like pink and blue
• Another one is really cool sea photography, since I am into photography and ocean, if I stare them it brings me somewhere else.
• Those are important when I am working. I can find joy in this workspace, feels like I can make career success.

11. Tell me about the house or apartment you lived in when you were a child. How was it different from the one you live in now? What are the similarities and differences?

Actually in Daejeon, I used to live in apartment which had a strong sense of community. There was a friend of mine in my neighborhood and we used to hang out with her all the time and play a roller coaster.

• One of our favorite memories is playing tagging game with her and my younger brother and my father, we were having really playful memories.
• Unlike childhood, we moved to the next city which was sejong, when I turnt into a university student.
  • Sejong city was very clean and it was such a new city. There are many government employees and the apartment was full of public servant, I didn’t feel enough strong relationship maybe I was grown up person, my family and neighbors didn’t seem to stick together like having a gathering. This is the differences.

• Back then, I also had emotional stress because I had a trouble with people who were native. I didn’t fit in like my voice was unheard, they were not friendly in a sneaky way like team project didn’t go well very much.
• In order to solve this problem, I went to phychiatrist for the sake of my mental wellness. She told me that event switching is normally painful like moving into a new house. I became more settled with her.
• This is how I went through moving experiences.

 

14. Talk about the problems people have when they rent a house or an apartment. Why do those problems occur and how do people solve those problems?

It helps me to explore creative possibilities

• The problems that I went through was paying for the furniture damage when i rent a room or house. This can be happened due to accidental behaviors. As a tenant, I need to take pictures or document the condition of furniture that I was provided with as soon as I move in. That could be the prevention or solution when a trouble happens

• So, I wouldnt say just one reason creates the problem, The housing demand is very high and but getting loan from bank is very hard right now. So demand and supply don’t match at all.
• But people around me are getting interested in money management more than ever. Whether retirement is right around the corner or still far on the horizon, thinking about it now is always a good idea.

• Housing subcription system
