FASTTRACK

As a college graduate, you need to communicate efficiently to become a competitive young


professional in the industry. Primarily, employers are interested to know your personal
experiences towards work and employment, since fresh graduates are usually novice. There
should be three components in your speech to communicate your personal experiences
competitively and efficiently:

1. Share your local attributes particularly your culture towards work. Be proud to describe
the known qualities of your heritage and highlight your experiences when you used them
effectively. For example, your hard work and focus as a native Ilocano made you succeed
college as a working scholar.”

2. Sell your global skills especially your technical literacy and knowledge. Discuss your
particular expertise on technology and communication which you experienced doing,
such as creating a website, operating Adobe Photoshop, making computer programs, or
simply editing word and excel documents.

3. Maximize the internet to communicate your personal experiences. Create an audio-video


presentation (e.g. video resume) which shows your portfolio and upload it in business and
employment-oriented service that operates via websites and mobile apps like LinkedIn.
According to Google, LinkedIn is ideal for building connections for freelance work, a
customer base, potential partners, or simply to keep your job prospects open.

FASTTALK

Self-introduction is one way to communicate your personal experiences. Watch the


selfintroduction of Kelly Zheng at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KK-b02BHEx0 which
could be a good idea for a creative video resume.

Now, it is your turn to introduce yourself through your personal experiences. In 3-5 to five
minutes you should have shared your local attributes and sold your global skills to the class.
FASTWRITE

After your presentation, write what you want to put in your self-introduction video. Create a
brief, clear, and inspiring self-introduction video and upload it on your Facebook account. The
likes, hearts, and wows on your video serve as your friends’ feedback on your personal
experience.
