Assignment w.16

Job interview presentation.

Imagine yourself 5, or maybe 10, years from now. Then imagine yourself applying for a job you really want; teacher, janitor, lead in a Hollywood blockbuster. Whatever. Your (hopefully) future employer has asked you to present yourself and your qualities to him orally. Basically, he/she wants you to explain why you’re prefect for the gig. You’ve got 5 minutes.

REMEMBER!
Ø Structure; make sure that you’ve structured your presentation so it’s easy to keep up and understand just why you’re fit for the task.
Ø Accuracy; make sure to present qualities that are relevant for the job you’re applying for.
Ø Confidence; be (or at least act) confident. Make sure that you know exactly what to say, and of course what you’re saying. Tempo, tone of voice, choice of words etc. This is perhaps what’s most important here, so prepare and rehearse carefully.

Please note that it’s perfectly fine to look into the future with eyes wide open. You don’t know exactly what kind of education, experience or qualities you’ll possess down the road, so a little bit of dreaming is not necessarily a bad thing here. Just start from the person you are today and go from there.

Good luck!
