Guidelines for the Personal Career Plan Presentation
This presentation should highlight the essential, career-oriented aspects of your career plan that could be of potential interest and value to your classmates. As such, the portions of the Personal Career Plan that should be covered are fourfold:
Concrete Career Goals (Recommended to use multiple slides to clarify your long term or short term goals in some detail. These could include several areas of career interest and should specify one or more entry level jobs that you might pursue upon graduation.)
Integration of Personal Characteristics and Occupational Goals (Recommended to use several slides to present your most important abilities, work preferences, and values as they relate to the opportunities offered by the job prospect, in terms of nature of work, working conditions, salary, job outlook, etc. Be sure to integrate these two sets of dimensions. That is, be sure to explain the relationship between them, such as how the nature of the work meshes with your abilities and values, as illustrated in CA 3-7 “Job Qualifications Profile.”)
Potential Organizational Choice (Recommended to use slides to summarize policies, structure, culture, and strategic outlook of your top organizational choice as relevant to your personal career goals. This should be a discussion of the characteristics of a specific company, and not just your generalized preferences or desires. Slides should demonstrate research on the company, not just the requirements for getting hired into the job.
Personal Job Search Plan(including your Resume) (Recommended to use several slides to clarify your networking plan—including specific names, job titles, and work organizations of your network members—as well as the rationale used to determine your specific resume style and content, as it relates to your ideal occupational and organizational prospect. Be sure to present a copy of your revised resume on an appropriate visual, so that everyone can easily see and evaluate it. Comment on changes that you made to it since the previous classroom critique, and solicit additional feedback from the class)
You are expected to use appropriate electronic presentation technology to provide effective visual support to your presentation. It is recommended that an absolute minimum of one specific slide be used for each of the above four categories, with the resume presented in a readable format for class review and discussion. In general, better presentations will utilize more slides. A presentation using only one slide per category would likely be about “D” or perhaps “C” quality.
Be sure to organize and time the amount of material to be presented so that you can get through your basic content presentation within the 7-10 minute allocated timeframe. This will leave 3-6 minutes for discussion and class critique of your resume. In the event that a given presenter hits the 13-minute time limit, that individual will be told to wrap up within one additional minute. Be prepared to facilitate discussion. Your complete presentation should last at least 10 minutes.
Presentations will be graded by the instructor immediately upon their completion. Therefore, we will require a few minutes break between presentations. The next presenter may begin to set up immediately, but should not begin presenting until the instructor indicates that this is appropriate.
Students will receive their Evaluation Forms with their presentation grades at the end of the class period in which they present. It is important to note that only minimal content themes are being evaluated in this presentation, given the severe time constraint. Therefore, it is quite possible that a student could get a high grade on the content dimension during the classroom presentation, but a considerably lower grade on that dimension when the complete written paper is evaluated.
For the Presentation Evaluation Form on the next page, the grading scale is as follows:
· 14 dimensions x 5 points each = 70 points possible
· Presentation Grade = Sum of scale ratings plus 30 points (i.e., a 100 point scale)
