The Make It Better team in collaboration with the Temp Project brings you a workshop “Perfecting the Pitch” on November 25th at 12:30 p.m. (ET).
Our panelists deconstruct what makes a good pitch - from sourcing the idea to focus; knowing your audience to format; and mixing in the elements that make your idea leap off the page. Learn how to pitch perfectly to get your ideas greenlit regularly.
Mark your calendars with the date and time above.
If you are temping with CBC News, you will see a calendar invitation for that time. If you are not actively temping at CBC News but have a profile on the Temp Database, please send an email to temp-project@cbc.ca to get an invitation to this workshop.
The Temp Project is interested in hearing from you about other workshops you would be interested in. Drop us a line with the skills you would like to brush up on or jobs you would like to learn about? We will do our best to cater to your interests.
NOTE: If you missed our workshop on Cold Calling in September, you can watch it along with all the other Temp Project workshops here.
