2021-4-29 KAIPO First Year Examiner Meetup Recap

On April 29th, we held a First Year Examiner Meetup session on WebEx for all first year examiners with Mr. Eric Yoon, president of the Silicon Valley Work Life Organization. The session was geared mainly towards addressing primary concerns of the first year examiners about the various topics related to the examination process and information about work life during the first year.

Mr. Eric Yoon presented a brief informal half hour talk regarding strategies for a successful first year and tips to achieve such success. The various topics included tips about searching and receiving help for searching, reaching out to other sources about questions that may come up during the examination process, and strategies to present a compelling case to the powers that be that determine the success or failure of the first year examiners.
