Third Class of OB =)

Alrighttttt! I just had a meeting with my team right after class, i think that we were productive because we spent time to discuss how should we work on the project, and each of us had tasks assigned. Then we decided to have a meeting every week to discuss about our findings or problems we have about the tasks. We will also try to gather all the research and edit/revise the work together, because we would like each one of us to contribute fairly to all parts of the projects. And I believe this is an effective way to proceed as a team. Although each of us have different strengths and weaknesses, but we can't just stick to our strengths for the whole life and just put aside our weaknesses. we need time and effort to improve our weaknesses if they might be critical to our future careers.

In fact, today's lecture about careers was quite interesting, because i had never actually sat down and determine all the skills i have or those that i want to use for my future career. And i believe going to the career centre would definitely help me in finding the right career that fits me based on my interests and skills. And i really enjoy studying in double majors of Management and CCIT, because Advertising/marketing has always been my dream career. I loveeeeeee to create images or anything by using computer and also interested in making commercials in my future. I thought it will be very fun to be a creative director/graphic designer, but after the lecture, i realized that i shouldn't just look at the positive aspects of Advertising, because there is always downsides in different careers. If there is a big list of unfavourable aspects of working in that career comparing to only a few good points, then i might need to consider looking into another career that can suit me more. I also found that it is important to try developing more skills that relate to the career i'm interested in, for example, drawing/painting and photographing etc...It is sad that i just remember i can't really draw very well by hand and i had never taken photography classes before!! =( ...So, i think studying more in those areas would definitely be easier to lead me into the Adveritisng industry!

*One reason that i really love doing design is because getting positive feedbacks from others about my products gives me great motivation and fulfillments to continue =)
