first project down
some time ago i was blogging abt my first project at my attachment co unilever, named shopscore. aft 1 wk of intensive data compilation, analysis, report and powerpt slides (yes, at least 10 hrs per day incl. sat and sun) the work finally came to an end.
as usual, b4 the presentation there is some anxiousness as we, tho used to present in sch to fellow classmates, do nt hav much exp dealing with corporate presentation. what's gg to happen? is it gg to be long? wat abt "thinking on your feet?" the Q&A, is it gg to be hard?
the entire presentation took abt 2 hrs, incl the Q&A as and when it occurs. so its nt like, presentation, blah blah blah, ok Q&A, we answer yr Qs. Qs r asked and clarification sought whenever the panel needs to ask, so apart from having to noe the material v well (which sure will b, havin spent so much time wif it) and some quick thinking, the whole thing went smoothly. sure was a great boost to morale!
we were worried in the beginning tat the presentation wun go as well, n tat the findings or data were analyzed wrongly. some mistakes there were, but given tat we were on a pretty tight schedule (prev allocated abt 8 days, excl wkends, to do the analysis) we churned out a pretty gd job. the feeling from the praise is diff from wat u get from sch. sch is like, ok you got an A, you feel ok at least cse work is there. in reality its quite different. there is no grading system so explicitly per se, but it gave me satisfaction more than i ever felt. 2 hrs of standing - n when u only had 5 hrs of disturbed slp last nite and by the end of the whole thing the blood in yr body is juz in your legs - n yr managers say, well done. wat u think? i'm very very satisfied, it spurred me to do even better for the nxt project n presentation.
so there goes 1. we shld b doing another round of presentation to 1 - 2 directors, tho this time the content is gg to b more concise n wif the errors (hopefulli) removed. so then, till the nxt presentation. of cos, there wil be another round of report writing - but its basically to re-edit the report to make it useful of management decision making. so things like accuracy, explicitness and clarity play major roles.
anyway, juz share some pics i took wif my fellow interns today... haha look at our relieved faces!
