  1. This is so great. I have an interview this Friday and I gained confidence and inspiration with every panel. I really enjoyed The Designer’s Guide to Business & Careers. Keep up the good work, going to see if I can pick up a poster my next paycheck, until then, I’m going to use this as my desktop background.

  2. This is great. Pretty much all sound advice. Very effective design.

  3. I don’t get this “Reject Personal Style” but “Define your audience” is pretty important.

    “Your mac is a tool” is funny!

  4. ^Reject personal style means to embody the clients persona and message, instead of hiding it behind your own preconceived aesthetic.

  5. So inspirational…love this

  6. I don’t have a Mac, does that matter?

  7. WATCH
    TED

  8. “defend yourself” that one might be my favorite

  9. Hello colleagues, its impressive piece of writing on the topic of teachingand fully defined,
