JSOM Video Interview Report

I have learned to project my voice better, while maintaining a firm position. These things have help me focus more on giving the speech than worrying about myself. I still need to work on calming myself down during my speech. I will be able to do this by collecting my thoughts beforehand and remind myself that I know my topic. I am giving the speech to let people know what I know about my topic.

Public speaking used to be a daunting task that I would try to avoid as often as possible, often I would be the last to present a project and would refrain myself from having to read outloud. When I would speak my head would fill with thoughts of how other were perceiving me and how easy it would be to mess up. With this nervous mentality my speaking was stuttered and confusing.

During the transitions I made sure to take a step back and a step forward. I did this by reviewing what I had just talked about and I then introduced the information that I was about to cover. Another considerable aspect of the transitions was that I used a blank slide in between the main topics to that when I was transitioning people were focused on what I was saying and not what was on the slide show.

As I was growing up I never thought about going to college, I came to the United States unaware of what an S.O.L, the SAT, honors, AP and DE classes were. I didn’t know anything about this. There was only one college I knew and that was James Madison University because it was everywhere in the city. When I was a freshman, history was my favorite subject it was just so fun to learn about the history of each country. When it was parent conference day my teacher told my mom that since i’m so good in history I can take World History History 2 honors. I didn’t know what an honors class was at that time but it sounded good so I decided to give it a try. I can’t explain why I choose Avid because actually I got into this class without knowing what Avid was, but I’m glad I applied and had been with this class

During the speech, I was also a good speaker in many ways. I had a good voice projection, my hand moment was consistent, I was always facing the audience and held eye contact, and had facial expressions to emphasize the importance of a topic. Right off the bat when I was explaining my citation saying According to the U.S Census Bureau “there are alone 5.7% Asian’s in the United States,” I was pointing my hands to make sure everyone was paying attention to the numbers. Another thing I did well during the speech was, that I kept eye contact with everyone during the speech

Having trained many salespeople, recruiters, and even stage speakers, most of them are mostly concerned with what to say... what's my script, what's my presentation, what do I say when they have this objection, etc. before you communicate (recruit, prospect, present) words to someone, be sure you rekindle and reconnect to your true emotion for what you're saying and then say it with the full passion and enthusiasm of your heart and soul--attach the iron bars of emotion to the straight pins of your words.

Don’t blab on- be short and sharp about your business or whatever you want to say it will be more engaging to those who are listening.

For this week, I feel I have not done much advancement as I would have liked. The good thing is that I am done with my initials interviews. I got help from my sister and we went to the Washington DC Mall to pick random Americans. It was not easy. We had more rejections than collaborations. Each time was more frustrating, but we got enough for such section. On the following day we went to GMU campus for the same goal and we had three more participations. I end up placing only 5 participants on the rough cut, because only that took 47 seconds. I may add two more participants, but I want to fill the rest of the project first and I may use two more to fill up in case there is extra space to reach the 10 required minutes.

Comparing to my pervious speeches, I thought I was more confident and effective. Since we were in the small room, I made sure that the tone and volume of my voices were balanced. Moreover, throughout the speeches I used various hand gestures to help me get connect with the audience. Preparation is one the most effective way to improve in any kinds of speech. Therefore, I could have done better by practice and preparing more.

Some of the aspects that I feel like I could improve on include feeling more comfortable speaking in front of groups and feeling more confident in what I am saying, and not just going through the motions. This can play a role in how much eye contact I have with the group as well. The more comfortable I am with the information and the more confident

Throughout life we express ourselves through words. The way we present ourselves through speech says a lot about our character. The way one speaks to others can jeopardize the amount of respect and trust others have for them. From the way one pronounces a word to their posture can affect the way an audience interprets what is being said. Personally, I am not confident with my speaking skills at this point. I would like my audience to fully comprehend the concepts or facts that I would present to them. In order to do so I must improve my speaking skills I believe that a problem most people, including myself, have when giving speeches is facing an audience. Just looking out to an audience of a mere ten

The two areas that I really need to improve is keeping the eye contact and speak clearly in delivering my message.

As Apple is considered as a top-most company in the world, its selection procedure for the internship is a little difficult when compared to other companies. This selection process may include online interview, face-to-face interview, questionnaires, problem solving etc. With the advancement in the technology many new forms of selection are being introduced day by day. With these procedures, organizations are getting a better opportunity to evaluate the person exactly. In this research paper, I tried to cover the selection procedure, requirements and Evaluation of the skills of the person.

Another interesting experience that helped me gain confidence was my speech communications class with my professor, Mrs. Larson. I knew I didn't have any trouble with talking to a group of people. I love to tell jokes and stories to many people at one time, but I was nervous and somewhat embarrassed about preparing some boring speech and making everyone else suffer by listening to it. Mrs. Larson explained that we all have problems with this and that it can be overcome. I remember something simple she said that stuck in my mind: "The only way to get over the fear of something is to just do it." She was right. As I had to go up to give the speech, her words constantly kept running through my mind. After the speech, I realized that we were all in the same boat suffering from the same seasickness- nervousness, We all had to give speeches. No one was out to criticize anyone else and we all ended up supporting each other! I learned that I could make a "boring" speech interesting if I have fun with it and feel comfortable as the speaker of the moment.

Do you think you cannot give hundred percent when you are presenting something? If you have this kind of thinking, have you ever tried to make it better? Sometimes I really think that we always want to give the best while presenting my speech or talk. So I just wonder on how I can improve my present? I believe that not all of you can stand in front and talk with the high level of confidence. Speech is the one of the type of oral communication. What is oral communication? Oral communication implies communication through mouth. It is a vital part of life in relationship, education, and careers.
