Seeing Red

Attending inter-departmental seminars is a fine art. You should look enthusiastic and interested but not so much because then you can come across as too-eager and an over achiever. You should be able to hide the fact that you don’t understand ¾ of the presentation and be ready to ask clever questions at the right time. You also have to learn to hide your glazed gaze and conceal your daydreaming expression. And it certainly won’t hurt if you are dressed nice and like a professional. People usually take you on the face value!
