IE Forum 2007

Today attended an International Enterprise Forum.
Our company is one of the gold sponsor of this event.
It was a good explosure and new experience.
In a typical business world, networking is always so important.

I'm really lacking of experiences in communicating with others in such a formal event.
I found that it's so hard to start a conversation with a strangers or potential customers.
Many things need to be learnt.
Some of the topics which had been covered in today Forum were really striked my head.
It reminded me about my U time, lecture time and refresh my mind.

Glad to participate in this event although i have to wake up even earlier than normal working hour.
Take it as an opportunity to "open" myself to a real business world.
We need more practical in terms of improve our communicating skills.
The presentations provided by some of the speakers were really fantastic and impressive.
But it once again prove that i'm not a good candidate to work as Sales person although i thought i'm suitable in this line when i have just freshly graduated 3 years ago...
Feel thankful to our bosses.
I know this is part of the career development and learning path.
Learning is an endless process.
It is so true and hope there are more opportunities for me to overcome my barriers.

Hihi dear dear,

In some sense i do agree that everyone is selling ourselve to get a good job. But sometime sincerity just not the main criteria needed in business world.

Some time we need some 'skill' to cheat and telling liar to win something we wanted. This is cruel but it is truth.
