sharing of experience

helped an ex-agency friend today... he is lecturing at SIM part-time and was arranging for his students to speak to someone in the marketing / advertising industry. to inspire and let them gets first-hand advice on the industry etc...

it was so funny when he called me as i never expect to be qualified to share my experience with aspiring marketers! i mean, although i have been working for 12 years... yes... i don't seriously think that i chalked up enough experience to motivate people trying to break into the industry! role model? i am definitely not!

anyway, the experience was fun... about 10 students, sitting at BK Liat Towers... sharing with them how i started my career, my views on the industry and my advice for them! hehe... actually they were pretty shy... only 2 of them asked questions... the rest were asked by their lecturer! took abt an hour plus... hope i didn't scare them away and make them change major! haha!
