This was the question that was posed in Accounting class. In an attempt to raise the bar on class participation, I attempted to use an example from my advertising agency world. Well, I got interrupted and ended up looking like a total airhead.
Me: "In my previous job, the environment was a lot of fun..."
Prof: "OK" (starts to gesture to the next person
Me: "... because there were a lot of young people and parties...
Prof: "So you like parties" (smirk, and gesture to the next person)
FAIL
If I had my act together, I would have said,
Me: "The company culture makes a big difference. For example, when I worked in advertising, I was surrounded by young, like minded individuals, like myself. Overall it was a fun environment."
Prof: "Megan, that was really insightful" (ok, he never would have said that, but there wouldn't have been a smirk)
