Making the Most of Your Presentation, featuring Jean-luc Doumont
Tuesday, January 19th, 2:00 – 4:00pm, 10-250
GECD and ODGE are thrilled to welcome back Jean-luc Doumont for his annual IAP lectures on excellence in communication --
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>.

Branding Yourself – Effective Communication Skills
Wednesday, January 20th, 2:00 – 3:30pm, 4-231
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.

Communication Science to Nonscientists, featuring Jean-luc Doumont
Thursday, January 21st, 2:00 – 4:00pm, 10-250
GECD and ODGE are thrilled to welcome back Jean-luc Doumont for his annual IAP lectures on excellence in communication --
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 registration requested via CareerBridge<https://www.myinterfase.com/mit/student>.

Converting Your CV into a 2-Page Resume for Industry
Friday, January 22nd, 1:00 – 2:30pm, 4-149

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 registration requested via CareerBridge<https://www.myinterfase.com/mit/student>.
