Its always a great learning curve for us to hear from an ex pupil who definitely speaks how it is in the real world and what employers are actually looking for. As an illustrator, I found alot of the work he and his company do really didnt have much impact on me and my direction, i wasnt sure how much input he himself had on the work he showed to us, it was a great sales pitch for the company as a whole but maybe not so much for Steve, who we were all there to see and hear.

But it was great to hear how fondly he spoke of Stockport college and how the tutors still do of him as a student success story.

Over all this was very much worthwhile, if just to hear an inside veiw on the hiring process we all hope to go through in the near future! 
im giving this talk 5/10
