The New Kid In Town

"It's better to except less and over deliver, than except too much and under deliver," stated Ricardo Guiliani. Today there was a super star panel of men and women who are experianced in the field of work we all want. It began with them individually introducing themselves and telling us what NOT to do in our work placement. After we asked our questions as a class, the mentors came to the little groups we were in to get more in depths with their line of work.

The mentor my group recived was Ricardo Guiliani; he's 25 years old, orignially from Brazil and his title is Marketing/Design Coordinator at Rogers Wireless Express. He was the one who came up with the name for the Orchestra CMS softwear. This man knows what he's talking about for only being 25 years old, he already has a profile as well. Everything he said about his experiences was fantastic, I feel like he should be a motivational speaker. His knowledge was interesting; with him coming to Canada from Brazil was a HUGE change. He told us that it took him awhile to get a firm understaning of the English language. He expressed his concern in the beginning with the language only because Ricardo couldn't hold a conversation for very long. You have to think about the translation AND what your thought was.

Ricardo told us that we shouldn't take our profressors for granted. "Listen to what the have to say, learn from them." He also mentioned for us to ask as many questions as we can, they are always a good idea. Time management was another topic that was touched upon. You have to prepare yourself and take note of everything around you, showing up to class isn't enough; you should try to find volenteer work as well. That will most likely get your foot in the door and it will make you feel good about yourself.

I have learned so much about the business side of things from Ricardo. He is the type of person I would like to keep in touch with. As I said before, for only being a 25 year old he sure has a handle on things in his life. I wish him the best of luck with everything.

Thank you  Ricardo Guiliani for being inspirational, hard working and a dedicated man.
