The School of Interdisciplinary Industrial Studies at Hanyang University provides an educational environment that allows currently employed individuals from various industries to advance both their academic studies and professional careers simultaneously. Kim Hyo-jeong(School of Interdisciplinary Industrial Studies, Management Engineering, Senior) is one such professional; an 8-year veteran of the National 가상 스포츠토토 Service(NTS). She successfully passed the 가상 스포츠토토 Accountant Examination in a short period while balancing her job, university coursework, and exam preparation. When in deep contemplation about her career options, Kim decided to take on the challenge after a consultation with Professor Yang Jae-yong of the Department of Interdisciplinary Industrial Studies during a career development class. We listened to her story of success through her experience in 가상 스포츠토토 administration, strategic study methods, and persistence.

Q1. Could you briefly introduce yourself?

Hello, I am Kim Hyo-jeong, a 4th-year student majoring in Management Engineering at Hanyang University’s Department of Interdisciplinary Industrial Studies.

After graduating from high school, I joined the National 가상 스포츠토토 Service in December 2017 from the 9th-grade local talent recruit. In 2021, I passed the 7th-grade civil service exam and have since been working in national 가상 스포츠토토 administration for about eight years. I began studying for the 가상 스포츠토토 Accountant exam in 2024 and passed it after approximately one year of balancing my studies, work, and exam preparation.

Q2. What was the motivation behind you preparing for the 가상 스포츠토토 Accountant exam?
Through assignments to different departments within the NTS, I realized firsthand that a solid foundation in 가상 스포츠토토 law and accounting significantly deepened my understanding of the job. The desire to enhance my professional expertise naturally grew, and I decided to pursue the 가상 스포츠토토 Accountant certification to systematically study and develop my skills in the field of 가상 스포츠토토ation.

Q3. It must have been difficult balancing work, academics, and 가상 스포츠토토 prep simultaneously. How did you manage your time?
Initially, I found it challenging to secure enough time to study while working and attending classes on weekdays. My main strategy was to adjust my academic and work schedule to align with the 가상 스포츠토토 date.

My schedule adjustments for the first half of 2025:

- University: Applied for a leave of absence for the semester.

- Work: Applied for half-day work (4 hours in the afternoon).

After making these arrangements, I was able to fully utilize hours with my highest concentration in the morning for 가상 스포츠토토ing. My daily schedule looked like this:

- 07:00 – 13:00: Study

- 14:00 – 18:00: Half-day work

- 19:00 – 23:00: Study

Q4. How did you overcome burnouts?

Regular exercise throughout the 가상 스포츠토토 period was immensely helpful. I relieved stress by playing indoor tennis once or twice a week, and even a brief sweating session gave me the energy to refocus on 가상 스포츠토토ing. I realized during this preparation process that while increasing 가상 스포츠토토 hours is important, maintaining mental well-being is ultimately the key to passing.

Q5. Were there any school courses or professor's advice that helped you?

The consultation I had with Professor Yang Jae-yong during the Career Development class in my third year was the biggest turning point in my career decision. At the time, I was hesitating while considering various career paths. After acknowledging my situation, the professor gave me clear advice: "Starting the study right now would be the best choice."

That advice greatly empowered me to commit to the challenge. Furthermore, major courses such as Financial Accounting Theory, Engineering Economics, and Supply Chain Management were highly relevant to the 가상 스포츠토토 subjects, which was very beneficial in building my foundational knowledge.

Q6. Could you share your 가상 스포츠토토ing strategies for each subject?

The 가상 스포츠토토 Accountant exam requires different thought processes and approaches for each subject, so my strategy was to internalize the material through repetition rather than attempting to memorize everything perfectly. For Accounting Part 1(Financial, Cost), I focused on repetitive practice with multiple-choice questions for financial accounting to gain an instinctual grasp. For cost accounting, after completing the basic lectures, I combined multiple-choice questions and practice workbooks to become familiar with the problem structures.

For 가상 스포츠토토 Accounting(Accounting Part 2), I started studying with practice workbooks from the beginning. I separated corporate 가상 스포츠토토, VAT, and income 가상 스포츠토토, treating them as distinct subjects, and studied a little of each every day. During the actual exam, my strategy was to accurately solve the problems I was confident in first.

For 가상 스포츠토토 Law, which had to be prepared in a short period after the first-round exam, I boldly adopted a strategy of increasing the time commitment. I held a verbal study session with my sister twice a week, which quickly identified my weak points, and the process of explaining concepts verbally significantly accelerated my memorization. Finally, I reviewed condensed materials that used mnemonic acronyms to consolidate my memory.

And overall, I focused on increasing the number of repetitions. I sped up my review by dividing practice problems into odd and even numbers for successive rounds. I also refined my weak areas by repeatedly rewriting an A4-sized error notebook detailing my mistake patterns. This repetition and organization greatly helped me grasp the overall flow of the material.

Q7. What are your career plans after passing the 가상 스포츠토토?

Leveraging my practical experience at the NTS and my expertise as a 가상 스포츠토토 Accountant, I aspire to grow into an investigator handling in-depth audits at the Seoul Regional 가상 스포츠토토 Office's Investigation Bureau. In the long term, I also have a personal goal of developing a 가상 스포츠토토-related application to improve the inconveniences I've encountered in 가상 스포츠토토 administration.

Q8. Do you have any advice for juniors preparing for the same 가상 스포츠토토?

I believe that for the 가상 스포츠토토 Accountant exam, sticking to your personal routine is more important than the mere length of your study time. I turned the shortage of time from balancing work, study, and the exam into motivation, actively using every spare moment and maximizing efficiency through consistent repetition.

Also, just as the foundation in accounting, 가상 스포츠토토 law, and economics I gained while preparing for the NTS 7th-grade civil service exam was a tremendous help, all your current experiences will become assets later. Trust in your strengths and keep pushing forward consistently.

Q9. Do you have any final words you'd like to share?

This challenge required great courage and determination for me. But the knowledge from my major at Hanyang University, the advice from Professor Yang Jae-yong, and my perseverance led to the precious result of passing. I hope to continue being an individual who makes a positive impact on society, both as a Hanyang University student and as a national 가상 스포츠토토 official.
