1.Fifteen minutes or less2.No more than 10 slides.3.Everyone has to speak4.Cover all relevant topics from this semester.
Yes, it all sounds so familiar doesn’t it? Those
dreadful presentations! We all have to do them and we allrace to the wire to finish, and then……..how did I do?Don’t fear my fellow students! I have put together a few tipsto help you through your presentation dilemmas.
Before I spill the goods, there are a few things youshould know and appreciate about presentations. For start-ers, presentations do actually prepare you for the future.Though it may appear otherwise, presentations are not somehuge scheme to see how unprepared you are nor are theysome test to see how much you will buckle under the pressure. Presentations amongst your peers areactually an essential learning tool to help you to land that deal in the boardroom.
I’m sure you have heard of the saying “presentation is everything”. Well, it is true! How you
present yourself, your plan, idea, or recommendations are telling to how much time and commitmentyou have invested into whatever it is you are trying to sell to the listening ear and the watchful eye. Yes,it may be intimidating to get up in front of a room of people and talk about something you may or maynot be interested in, but you will get great results if you put in the time and commit yourself to the out-come. Don’t forget, your image is on the line! Every moment counts. Take note of these tips and youwill be on your way to an “A”: Tip 1: Be convincing! Really invest your time and believe in whatever you are saying. Ask yourself, areyou convinced that what you are presenting is worth the time? If you are not excited about what youneed to share, why should your audience be?Tip 2: Rehearse with a friend or classmate. Rehearsing your presentation allows you the opportunity totime yourself and/or make necessary changes.Tip 3: Know your work! If you are presenting to someone who is well knowledgeable in the area youare discussing, you had better know the right terminologies, the facts vs. the hypothesis, and the realis-tic outcomes. If your computer shut down, would you be able to carry on the presentation and relaythe same information without a hitch?Tip 4: Record yourself. How we sound in our head is never the way we sound to our audience. Set up atape recorder and play it back. I learned in high school that I said “um” a lot while I was presenting. Re-cording yourself allows you to catch those little nuances and be mindful while you are presenting.Tip 5: Involve your audience. Ask your audience rhetorical questions. Show them you can relate tothem. Bring them into the conversation. A lot of presenters are so busy getting their message out thatthey forget to interact with their audience. Slow down, pace yourself, and get back to basics.I hope these tips are helpful to you. Remember, people will not buy into anything you are offering if they are not convinced you would buy into it too.

This quarter we are recognizing April Dunham. April saw one of our postings
regarding an HR Internship via our twitter account (@nsushrm) and decided
to apply. She took initiative and sent in her résumé. Approximately 2 weeks
later, the recruiter contacted April to set up a telephonic interview. April was
offered and accepted the internship position. April diligently worked as an
intern for 5 months before she was promoted to a permanent associate as an HR Assistant. April
is currently enrolled at NSU while working towards her Masters Degree in HR. We are so proud of you April
and wish you well on your career path!

How many times have we heard: “Its not what you know, its who you know.”?
I believe that it is all about who you know, but it is also about what you know.
What you know will be the reason you stay in that position and keep growing.
Who you know may be the reason you get the position in the first place. Your
networking connections are often the reason an employer takes a chance on
you. You may be one of 100 applicants, but your relationship with someone
that knows the Hiring Manager may be the very reason your application is put
to the top of the stack. This is why it is vitally important to make sure you are always aware of your surroundings when
in open discussion with other professionals. As I have said before, people are always watching and listening. Because
you don't know everyone that is around you, is all the more reason you should be careful to not speak ill of others.
Many people just starting out in their career path are always unsure of how to start networking with people in their
profession. Its simple! Here are a few steps to help you:
1. Connect with professional/local groups within the community via LinkedIn and appear at some of their events. If
you don’t have a LinkedIn account...GET ONE NOW!
2. Show up to the next event and bring a friend if you can. Its very difficult to go to a new place not knowing anyone
and just start mingling. It can be intimidating. Don’t worry! You can do this. Just think of it this way, your future is
on the line.
3. How do you break the ice? Most of these meetings are about networking, so its not unusual to enter into a conver-
sation and introduce yourself or just listen to what is being said and jump in if you have something valuable to add.
Now, be sure to use wisdom when interjecting. If you are not confident about what you are about to say, the best
thing to do is stay silent! There may be follow up questions from the group and you don’t want to look clueless.
Always bring a business card with you and exchange cards before you finish your conversation.
4. Stay connected! After the event, be sure to go through your cards and connect with each person through LinkedIn
or facebook. If there is someone you feel you had a great connection with, send them a note via the social net-working site or via email to let them know it was a pleasure meeting them and you hope to stay connected in the
future. Stay in touch with them in an effort to build a great professional relationship and keep in mind that just
knowing the person may be all you need to get to that next level.
Now, you are ready to go! Now head over to our “In the community” events on Page 4. See you there!
