Pedro Arka studied mechanical and automotive engineering in Brazil and participated in an exchange student program in KAIST. He works as an financial analyst doing equity research and identifying investment opportunities.

A good example of an opportunity I got because of networking happened a couple of years ago. I was in college and I didn’t know what kind of job I wanted yet. I went to a family party with my girlfriend and she introduced me to her cousin, who studied at the same university as me. He had worked in different fields and gave me a lot of advice. We talked a lot about career paths, what to do after college, and many opportunities that were out there, especially in the fields he had worked in: consultancy and investment banking. In the middle of the conversation, he asked a friend to talk to us about his job and explain to me what he was working on. He was a director in a very well-known investment bank and he was thinking about developing a summer internship program in his department. He didn’t have any formal plan yet; it was just an idea, but he needed someone to try it out. “If I make that internship happen, would you do it?” he asked.
“Of course!” I said. Even though I didn’t know anything about banks, I studied a lot and did all the exams and interviews needed to fulfill the requirements. Finally, some months later, I started working in the finance industry. In fact, that was my first experience in this sector. I went back there some months later to do another internship. Today, I still work in the financial industry and that little opportunity was essential to get me started.

The simple study did not give you the good job opportunity. You must learn the skill full study which is in high demand. The mechanical and electrical study is very important if you want a good job. The other good opportunity is the computer skill.
