featuring Jean-luc Doumont<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Tuesday, January 19<sup>th</sup>, 2:00 –

<p class="MsoNormal"
style="line-height:12.0pt;mso-line-height-rule:exactly">GECD and
ODGE are thrilled to welcome back Jean-luc Doumont for his
annual IAP lectures on excellence in communication -- <br>
Strong oral presentation skills are a key to success for
engineers, scientists, and other professionals, yet many
speakers are at a loss to tackle the task. Systematic as they
otherwise can be in their work, they go at it intuitively,
sometimes haphazardly, with much good will but seldom good
results. Based on Dr. Doumont's book Trees, maps, and theorems,
about "effective communication for rational minds" this lecture
proposes a systematic way to prepare and deliver presentations.
Among others, it covers structure, slides, and delivery, as well
as stage fright. Advanced registration requested via <a

Communication Skills<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Wednesday, January 20<sup>th</sup>, 2:00 –
3:30pm, 4-231<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Communication goes beyond verbal skills which
are important to the success of any job seeker. To brand
yourself as a professional, you must deliver a consistent
message in a Written, Verbal, and Virtual manner. As students
and postdocs begin to look for positions in engineering and
science, both in academia and industry, they must be aware of
how their nonverbal communication skills impact their
possibility of finding employment opportunities. Learning how to
maximize the use of one's verbal and nonverbal communication
skills is a powerful tool to help one achieve professional
success, and a critical component for the future. Advanced

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Thursday, January 21<sup>st</sup>, 2:00 –
4:00pm, 10-250<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">GECD and ODGE are thrilled to welcome back
Jean-luc Doumont for his annual IAP lectures on excellence in
communication -- <br>
Scientists are often perceived as living in their own
impenetrable world. Jean-luc discusses the challenges of
communicating with a lay audience, and presents effective
strategies for overcoming the challenges. Most of these
strategies apply to communicating to scientists as well. They
are universal good ideas - heeding the advice becomes more
critical when the audience is less specialized. Advanced

<b>Converting Your CV into a 2-Page Resume for Industry<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Friday, January 22<sup>nd</sup>, 1:00 –
2:30pm, 4-149<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are considering exploring Industry
positions, you will need to have a resume that effectively
positions you for this path. This workshop presented by Bob
Dolan will discuss the process of converting your 4-6 page CV
into a 2-page resume for industry, and creating a document that
effectively targets the Hiring Manager. Can your resume survive
a 15 second scan and still get into the YES pile? Discussions
will surround the strategies of effective messaging and how to
be "on-point" with your written communication. Actual successful
MIT PhD/Postdoc resumes will be provided as handouts. Advanced
