People Between Jobs
by Andrew McCaskey
People Between Jobs
Every SDRNews listener – and the host – have at one time been between jobs. There are lot of people between jobs. A lot of listeners between jobs. And, it’s time to bring SDRNews to the challenge.
Beginning next Wednesday January 21 , we will begin hosting a live edition of SDRNewsroom specifically for listeners who are between jobs. It’s an experiment, building on community outreach experience that I have had on a part time basis for the past six years.
The objective is a forum for SDRNews listeners who are up to the challenge of attempting an online video presentation. A chance to use the power of other listeners to focus on building skills presenting experience and qualifications to others. It just happens to be in virtual space.
SDRNewsroom is live video, along with a dial in line phone bridge and integrated uStream chatroom. It is going to be rough, but the format that I have in mind will consume no more than one hour.
To present, you need your game on: A good connection, a telephone headset, a well lit webcam on Skype or Gmail video, and no more than three Powerpoint slides. You have five minutes on camera to pitch your career field, background and type of position/location you seek, then five to ten minutes of interview like questions and coaching from the host and audience.
If you are up to the challenge, it should be a great chance to demonstrate your elevator pitch, presentation skills and question handling abilities. I figure we can handle four or five people during the hour.
If you are between jobs and do not want to present, join us and offer chat room comments and dial in for the discussion. There will soon be a PBJ tab on the sdrnews.com site with a special community space for you to link up with others who are in the same boat, help each other with resumes and strategies – and get of fresh set of eyes on your job search efforts.
Every SDRNews listener – and the host – has at one time been between jobs.
This first show will start at 1:00PM Eastern, 10:00AM Pacific. email your materials in advance to pbj at sdrnews.com
Pay it back, or pay it forward – let me know if you are prepared to step up to the plate.
I just did.
