What was the most impressive thing you learned during the seminar?

• I liked the story of a junior who started out as a non-major and just got a job, and the story of why a senior in the industry started analyzing.
• I liked how the presenters spoke in detail and honestly about their experiences, including their job preparation process and side project reviews!
• I was impressed by the interview experience of a rookie analyst and the analysis of the son's soccer performance by a senior analyst.
• It was great to be able to compare my experience with the most recent hire's project.
• I liked the part 1 lecture where you talked about everything from planning to employment.
• Part 1: The speaker shared his thoughts on the process of finding a job, which was very relatable and helpful.
• I was impressed by the idea that 'let's start small' and 'something that starts small can eventually grow and be completed'.
• Doing is better than perfect! I thought that it is more important to put into practice even small things than to just worry about them.
• Everything starts with 'why', and I was impressed by the part where it was said that it is better to try than to worry.
• As a data analyst job seeker, I didn't know what kind of data to collect or where to collect it, but the part where you personally refined the Jeju Island data and carried out a project that required blood, sweat, and tears was the most impressive.
• I thought I could only analyze existing data, but I was very impressed by the fact that I created a side project to collect and analyze the data myself.
• It was great to hear about the employment process of fellow SQL Data Analysis Camp students.
• I was impressed by the side project story in Part 2. It motivated me to choose a topic and do a project.
• I liked how the interview with Choi Kyu-min was delivered in an interesting and important way. It also felt a bit more natural because it was conducted live.
• I was very inspired by Gyu-min's stories about public speaking and side projects, which were very interesting topics.
• I was inspired by the way they boldly took on the challenge of creating new products, continued to provide feedback, and successfully found jobs. I was also inspired by the way they persistently immersed themselves in their interests and connected all activities in their lives, such as seminars and childcare, to their careers.
• It was great to see the activities of two speakers (junior and senior) with completely different positions on the topic of side projects! I think the content was rich because the two of them had something in common and something different.
• Both speakers today talked about execution and intrinsic motivation, and I liked that part the most.
• The way it was conducted was good, and the seminar content was closely related to the field, so I was able to clearly understand what I needed to prepare as a job seeker.
