I'm at Macworld 2012, and I'm really happy to be here. Here is my business card. I do already have a business card, get it? Imagine this. So I'm working as a PR manager for an IT company, and I really love my job because you see, when you're surrounded with interesting people-- with developers, with guys who are playing music, who do something really valuable to help people not only in Mac community but also in Windows community as our company develops products for both operational systems. Well, speaking about my typical day, it is pretty hard because as I've already mentioned, I am a daytime student of the University and I have to go to the University first. So like a story in the first form, I wake up at 7:00 AM, go to shower, clean my teeth, and then I go to the University. I listen to different lectures, visit different classes. It is all fun, I meet my friends. And then I go to work, and you know, it is just another part of your day. It is completely another life. It differs pretty much, because when you're communicating with the guys who are 19, 20, they're still students, you're having fun with them, and then you come to job, and there are a lot of older guys-- not much older, like 25, 30-- but you feel they're wise because they can teach you a lot, they can explain to you a lot of new stuff, really interesting stuff. Speaking about my career path, I'm just thinking I don't know what to say, because at the moment, I am satisfied with everything. I'm glad how it is all going. I'm developing. I'm getting a lot of new information from any sources-- from email, from my friends, from the University, from my colleagues, from this place, as I'm first in the US and I'm really glad to be in California while it's cold in my hometown. So what I wish I knew when I started my career? I think that I wish that I knew nothing special. Maybe just some wise advice, but I was able to get it at the moment I came to job, and I was explained what to do, where to go, how to speak to people, although I think it is natural. It is somewhere inside of every person, how to speak to people, how to be communicative, so-- ","file":{"id":167958,"video_id":"2700428267001","name":"121560539","duration":166033,"thumbnail_url":null}});
