Hello.
From a salary in the 20 millions to the 50 millions in just one year—achieving 'compressed growth' starting as a non-major from a pure liberal arts background in my 30s
I am called "Grit."

Immediately after graduating from a government-funded program:
200+ rejections, 0% pass rate → In the midst of feeling lost with nothing substantial to put on my resume, I began digging into the 'formula for success'
2 months after graduating from the government-funded program: 100+ rejections but 15+ acceptances & 10+ interviews → 20% acceptance rate
Year 0: Joined a company with a salary in the 20 million won range → Designed and executed 'compressed growth' to turn the tables within a year
6 months in: Started preparing for a job change, 100+ rejections → 1% success rate
Year 1: Salary 20M→50M (100%↑ increase), proved the 'winning formula' by raising document pass rate from 1%→66%, and moved to a major IT corporation in Pangyo
Year 2: Reached a 60 million KRW salary + passed on the 'winning formula' to over 160 mentees, maintaining a top-rated 5.0/5.0 mentoring score for a year
The key to passing that I discovered was these two things: 'the real substance (experience)' and 'the way it is presented (resume)'.
You must design and cultivate both of these.
There are three ways to share knowledge on Inflearn.
1⃣1:1 Mentoring - Resume editing and hyper-personalized in-depth coaching that turns your existing experience into a 'marketable story'
2⃣E-book - A playbook containing all the formulas for writing a successful resume in 240 pages
3⃣Engineering Tutoring - Practical coaching to create the 'real substance' for your resume together over 8 weeks
I hope that the footprints of my past failures can serve as a stepping stone for those who need to make a leap forward.
