Upcoming job presentation

[ico83]

As with school work, I feel like the time I spend on preparing for impending job interviews can be divided into--95 percent thinking/being indecisive/feeling overwhelmed by my seeming inability to accomplish the goal at hand and perhaps 5 percent actually being productive/producing tangible work. My project du jour is for a presentation later this

Ian, first of all I assure you that you probably spend at least 30-40 percent of your job preparation time doing useful-tangible preparation. I do know how you feel, though, given the hours upon hours of time spent on lesson planning, and how long it seemed to take to bust out one god-forsaken lesson.

I think you should go no more than ten minutes with the introduction, and with the discussion of various CMS options. I think the students will really look forward to working on their own, were this job interview lesson applied to a real life setting. If you show them, for example, how to start up a webpage using Wordpress or Drupal or whatever else was mentioned, I think they will be dazzled. Talking about what you know and demonstrating what you know are two different things. The last ten minutes will be the most influential on the people conducting the interview, I feel.

You can do it, Ian!
