Internship Experience
Soft skill
Know your audience. It means that when your audience is different, the words you use should be different. For example, you may use some phrases as “in the session level” in a technical meeting, while you should change the wording and use something like “before you log out of the system” in a business meeting where most of the audience are not that technical savvy.
Conversation outside the meeting room.
Conversation inside the meeting room is important, but sometimes it’s the conversation happened outside the meeting room that play a more critical role. Before the design meeting, talk to the key persons in the team with your design idea. Make sure they understand why you design that way and obtain feedback from them about your design. By doing this, you can be assure that the key person in the meeting understand your design concept and when somebody question about the rationale of your design, you are not the only one in your side.
