SMU students getting so happy about learning to smoke a presentation. It reminds me of my resentment to that project's outcome back in school.

You're lucky if you're the only party presenting for a job. But if another party presents conflicting data to you, which is a more than a likely case if both parties are competing in the same field, checks will be done, and if your smoking is found out, your reputation, credibility and identity as a business will be ruined. Especially problematic since certain sectors have very small and as a result, close communities. GG for your company.

Nowadays clients are smarter, too. Big companies will require research on their end to make sure they are making a worthwhile investment, because they are more concerned about their identity than you. Smaller companies could be smoked through, but although several small company deals could sustain the growth of the company, its the big deals that add to portfolio and future investor confidence.

I suppose they are using a "how to use the tools" before a "when to use the tools" approach. I hope. Or else this batch of degree holders will be another listless bunch of meaningless paper print-out holders.

Speeding through the minutes, project details, plans of actions, presentation docs, its all been done before. I was worried about doing the same old thing in ntu design, but I didn't expect to come across such similar things in smu either. Anyway, its only the first few months I suppose, just the surface of what they have yet to learn.

I realize that it may be possible to leech of the school notes just like for jc. Which sounds quite dangerous because I ended up taking the other route in the end.






It sucks having to change your image to suit the market. But you gotta admit, having a strong sense of style through hair maybe nice, but if its not marketable, its a drawback instead of a plus point, no matter how much you like it. I never was one to place too much liking on any particular style, might as well do as advised.

In the end, business is business. Its still possible to not conform while still following a general direction.
