Career Planning/Verizon Presentation

The Verizon Career Planning workshop/presentation was pretty interesting.  When I got there we had to sign in on computers, so I didn’t get a signature.  The speakers taught us about “Elevator Speeches”.  An elevator speech lasts about one minute and is helpful when it comes to introducing yourself to a potential employer.  He explained that it’s good to include what college you went to because it can help you to network with other alumni.  They talked about how it’s important to present yourself in a professional matter and the importance of a resume, like we learned in class.  This was definitely a helpful workshop because it was useful and gave explanations of how the techniques could be applicable in everyone’s own lives.
