He gave us a very informative lecture:
-Social: Know your guest speakers and companies, narrows down your fit.
eg.: Y & R: business driven, less creative versus other agencies
that are creative.
Advice:
-Find a mentor that can help you by guiding your path hrough training
and suggestions.
-Speak up, jump at opportunities by asking if you can handle a
particular project of interest. The art directors usually
think you're happy with what you do at work when
you don't ask.
-Always sit on the drivers seat, take control by stating your
views on things and much more.
