Resume Speech

Your assignment is to prepare a one-page resume highlighting your background, skills, talents, interests, education, work experience, and hobbies.

You will have the opportunity to verbally present your resume to the class. You should have an introduction, body, and a conclusion. You will speak for two to three minutes.

The goal of this speech is to present information about something you know—yourself. Deliver your remarks extemporaneously, establish eye contact, and use 4 x 6 note cards.

You will determine the job that you are seeking. Do you plan to become a nurse, a pharmacist, firefighter, police officer, teacher, project manager, doctor, lawyer, engineer, athletic coach, or a computer technician?

Consider the students in class as the interviewing panel and the decision makers as to whether or not you receive a job offer.

You will be expected to respond to questions about your resume following your presentation.

You should state why you are pursuing this position and why you believe that you are the most qualified individual for the position.

This assignment is worth ten points. On the day of your speech you will submit a typed one-page resume. See the following suggested sample resume format:
