Hello Fellow Toastmasters,
Career Night was the theme of the evening. Jobs - finding, keeping and upgrading skills - tips that kept everyone interested through-out the evening.
Toastmaster of the Evening: Rick Boyer. General Evaluator: Frank Connelly. Table Topics Master: Grayson Williams.
Twenty three in attendance, includes three guests: Tom Day, David Richey and Adam Gold.
Speaker #1, Jessica Ledbetter, talked about "hohum to happy at your job". She gave tips on what to do to make the job better starting with 'how do you feel on Monday morning?'. Self evaluation, the value you give to and get from the job and the voice you have play a large part in analyzing how to get the most satisfaction from your job. Tom Delbridge, speaker #2, told us submitting a resume for that job we want, we have 8 to 10 seconds to make an impression on the resume reader. Read "The Elements of Resume Style" for the perfect resume resource, Tom urged. You need to get it all on ONE page. No bullets. Use action words. Only use words that add value. Janet Krenn described how networking can develop into leads for jobs and business. One needs to consider what your unique skills and differences are and the value they bring. Your 'elevator speech' must be short, descriptive (no jargon) and practiced to engage others. Jessica Ledbetter received the Best Speech ribbon.
We had six Table Topics speeches from Michael Brugos, Stan Dalziel, Tom Day, Adam Gold, Linda Williams and Magda Brugos. Linda Williams received the Best Table Topics ribbon.
Speech Evaluators were John Harman, Stan Dalziel and Stacey Wallace. Stan Dalziel received the Best Evaluator ribbon.
