INFORMATIVE CAREER PRESENTATION REQUIREMENTS

FOR SPEECH # TWO

• The time limit for this speech presentation is 5-7 minutes. You should note that the penalty for over/under time is 10 points for every 60 seconds.

• In this informative speech, select a topic in the field of your current career/dream job you are pursuing. Search the newspapers, Internet for new developments in science, technology, environment, education/training, career opportunities, etc. It should be something that is not only important to you but your audience. Be sure to tell us why the topic is important, but don’t try to convince us that a certain position is correct. You may present pros and cons on the topic or present the benefits and detriments or tell us about a new development. But, do not take a personal stand! Just present information. For example, your Career Field may be Pharmaceutical Sales and your topic may be the testing of a new drug in the treatment of Alzheimer’s. You will simply report the facts.
