What are some of the challenges you faced as a IRK & Human Sciences student while you were studying at IIUM?
Too much focused on club and societies activities rather than study. That was the reason why I obtained at least 1 F in every semester. My bad.
What are some of the challenges you faced as a fresh graduate?
It was hard to deal with senior staffs when they think I as fresh graduates don’t know how to deal with tasks given by the top management. They don’t even respect me as their superior when they simply disobey instructions given by me. However I managed to solve the matter when I forced myself to be part of them and understand them better.
What advice would you give to IRK & Human Sciences students seeking to pursue careers using their qualifications?
Always seek for the best advices from your senior no matter what level of education they obtain. Don’t ever look people down.
What else would you like to tell the IRK & Human Sciences students currently studying at IIUM?
Being choosy will kill your future.
