Presentation Time
I am now
completely done with graduate school.
And yet, I
am completely overwhelmed with my assistantship. This is the busiest time of
year, helping over 200 college women move out in a little under 48 hours. Not to mention it is almost 90 degrees! As I am sitting at our checkout table, I
continue to work on my presentation for my on-campus interview less than a week
from today.
I’m a great
ideas person. When it comes to enacting
those ideas in a way that others would understand…I kind of falter. I think it is because I am so incredibly excited
about what I usually present on that I make a lot of assumptions as far as what
the audience already knows.
The prompt
stated “20 minutes professional development topic of your choosing”. Originally, I thought the topic would be incredibly
easy, but after some time I realize that it is challenging to demonstrate 1. My
intellectual curiosity and successes; 2. My intellectual curiosity without
sounding too abstract or over the top; 3. My ability to translate theory to
practice; 4. An engaging topic that will be relevant to my future profession.
Perhaps I am
overthinking it.
As I prepare
for this one on-campus, I think about all the other institutions that I have
interviewed with over the course of the past few weeks. I will need to notify them that I am moving
forward in my search. While I have
prepared for that conversation, it seems much more real as the time approaches.
