How to get a job summary

Our little group of three decided to present the topic “how to get a job”. We chose this topic because it seemed like the practical topic that was offered on the LEO website. With the economy being so horrible these days, there are many people out there who are out of a job and looking for a new one. Learning about how to find a job may be one of the handiest tools to have during these hard times.

The way my group organized the presentation on “how to get a job” is by jotting all of our thoughts down on a piece of paper to visualize how we can evenly divide up the work. Organizing the presentation and paper made putting it into action a lot simpler since everyone knew exactly how much was going to be needed done in approximately the time given. Once we have decided who is going to do which part of the paper and presentation, we got started! Originally, I was partnered up with Jonathon Gerry to do the presentation and then Donald Akroman asked to join us. Since we have already started the project and was almost finished writing up our parts, we had to quickly figure out what Donald could contribute to our presentation and continued working because time was starting to run out.

The way we figured out who would do which part of the presentation was by talking it out. We decided to divide up in a way where whomever seems to know more about the topic would cover it in the paper and presentation. We decided to do it this way because it seemed to make more sense and in the end, we could become somewhat “experts” at them and teach each other about our topics so that we could get the whole picture.

Jonathon was in charge of putting together the introductory, understanding how a job seeker can fit into the position they applied for, and researching the company itself. I covered the resume, cover letter, and conclusion while Donald researched the thank you letter. Everything seemed to work out smoothly since we all knew which parts we were doing and researching the topics wasn’t too hard since people are always looking ways to improve their job seeking skills. We used the LEO website to guide us in outlining the presentation and with my part, I was able to find quite a bit on the Google search engine. There were lots of examples provided through many different websites and that helped me a lot with cross-referencing. I was even able to find a cover letter outline to stick into the presentation itself to help the audience visualize what I was talking about.

I think we did an excellent job with putting together the presentation and we worked nicely as a team. We kept each other focused and worked our ways through problems that we encountered with the research. Everyone got along with each other and had their own little spark to add to the presentation. Even though we only had a little bit of time to present at our topic since we were the last group to go that day, I think we did a spectacular job with getting all of the information across to the audience and made it worth their time.
