bigger chain of command to startups.

working to deadlines

alumni

what will people need in the future?

lead your design by you passion, but don't put all your eggs in one basket

tell us your weaknesses?
how does this work show...?
how do you prioritize?
how do you overcome stress?
how do your interests align?
what role will suit in 10 years?

make it easy or easier for people to hire you
how many clicks does it take them to access your work.

it is not final.
don't wait for the perfect job.

it is going to be more difficult.


the first job is important
it can be better than uni
