The Caltech Campus Toastmasters Club and the CDC invite all grad

students and post-docs to a special meeting devoted to practising

elevator speeches. Elevator speech is a very short commercial that

job-seekers use in a variety of situations (career fairs, networking

events, job interviews) that succinctly tells the person you are giving

it to who you are, what makes you unique, and the benefits you can

provide. Every speech will be evaluated, and a small lunch will also be

provided. Those who plan to participate on the up-coming 9th Annual

Ph.D./Postdoc Career Conference are especially encouraged to come. This

meeting will be held at:

September 5, 2007

Building Keck, Room 142

12 - 1pm

Due to space limitations registration is required. There are only 25

slots for elevator speeches. Viewers are also welcome, but need to register as well.

All people interested in attending should send an email to

tsay at caltech dot edu

with the subject heading "RSVP: Toastmasters Elevator Speeches". Please include contact details,

whether you will give an elevator speech, and whether you will

participate in the Ph.D./Postdoc Career Conference.

A confirmation email will be sent. All speakers will receive detailed

information about how to give an elevator speech in advance.

Registration closes August 31.
