With the increasing demand of accountability in the work force, articulating leadership skills has become a crucial aspect of one’s interviewing process.

Does Your Resume Communicate the Right Message?
Tuesday, January 13, 2:00-3:30pm, 4-237
This workshop presented by Bob Dolan will discuss the many ways of creating a resume 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. Your resume is not an autobiography, but rather a list of relevant accomplishments that links your skills to the needs of the company. You’ll use these techniques in your lifelong career strategies. All GECD events are open to MIT undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and alumni. Advanced registration requested via CareerBridge:https://www.myinterfase.com/mit/student

Participants are asked to bring their own laptop or tablet as Career Services, in collaboration with the MIT Libraries, will go step-by-step and teach how these effective tools will provide information that could be your key to finding the right company for you.

Making the Most of Your Presentation, featuring Jean-luc Doumont
Tuesday, January 20, 2:00-4:00pm, 10-250
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 CareerBridge: https://www.myinterfase.com/mit/student

Persuading Others, featuring Jean-luc Doumont
Thursday, January 22, 2:00-4:00pm, 10-250
Persuasion skills are a critical asset for any career: We must convince employers to hire us, get the boss to let us start a project, or get coworkers to help out. Persuading others offers a rational approach to it: it covers how to use personal/organizational power, how to deploy tactics on four different human planes, and how to harness basic social influences to get other people to accede more easily to our requests.
