This past week I had the wonderful opportunity to present at a business plan contest at the University of Miami. It was an amazing experience, and even better when we found out that we won!
Putting together the business plan took quite a bit of research and work. When it was done, we sent it in. They graded it and gave us feedback.
From there, we revised the plan and prepared to present it to the judges. When we finished presenting, they asked us lots of questions. We had to be able to defend our plan. This is much like the interview process.
Your resume is like the plan. Have someone evaluate it. Take the feedback and see how you can improve. I caution you not to get too many opinions, because they will all be different.
The presentation is like your interview. Do the research on the company. Be prepared to defend and highlight your resume. Find typical interview questions on the Internet and prepare your responses.
Before we presented, my co-presenter listed 10 questions she thought we might be asked, and we made sure we were prepared to answer them. We arrived early and filled the space in between with networking.
In the end, we were prepared, presented well and received the award. Planning and preparation can make a huge difference between getting the job and coming in second place.
