November 4 - November 9
Finalize your 3-minute introduction to yourself in preparation for your Pod's roundtable discussion. Attend the roundtable discussion at the time your Pod agreed upon during Week 2.
At the roundtable, you and your peers will choose a facilitator to manage time for the group. The facilitator will go first for each step in the order below, and they will then select people for subsequent turns.
Step A) Each of you will take a turn to introduce yourself in a 3-minute presentation.
Step B) You will take notes on each peer's presentation, so that you can provide thoughtful feedback.
Step C) After each person's presentation, the facilitator will invite 1-2 minutes of questions, suggestions, or appreciation.
Step D) After everyone's introductions, each of you will take a turn to present your resumes. Resumes will be shared with others via the chat or screenshare.
Workbook Entry #6: What did I learn about presenting from listening to peers' presentations?
Part 1: Revise your resume drawing on the feedback you received from your peers.
Part 2: Find a friend and conduct a 10-minute mock job interview. You will need to identify the mock job (e.g. financial analyst for a venture capital firm, president of a non-profit, or any job you choose). Your friend will be the interviewer. Your friend should pose 3-5 questions, including at least one behavioral question, to help them decide whether you are a strong candidate for the position.
Be sure to ask your friend for feedback at the end of the interview.
Workbook Entry #7: What did you learn from the mock job interview and the feedback you received?
