Oral Presentation Assignment Worth: 10% Assignment Overview: For this assignment, I want you to create an elevator pitch for yourself, and your chosen career focus, no longer than 5 minutes in length and present it live to the class. I want you to give me and your fellow classmates a brief, 5 minute long elevator pitch about yourself and your chosen career focus, but with a twist: how would you sell your chosen career to your audience? How would you get them excited about your chosen field of work? Pretend you are a recruiter trying to encourage your fellow classmates to apply for work in your industry at a career fair at KPU. Sell them on why your chosen field is exciting! Some key tips: you want to ensure that youve crafted a speech that will capture your audiences interest, while also giving them key details about your chosen career field and why it is worth their time and interest. Think hard about how you want to structure this presentation, and about who your audience is (again, envision your listeners as potential recruits at a career fair). What do you and your chosen career bring to the table? How can you persuade your audience?
