8 Steps to Your Successful Job Hunt Event Speech

Ladies and gentlemen , I’d like all of you to do this. Close your eyes. Yes. Close your eyes and imagine your dream job. Yes, your dream job. The job that you’d love to do and do with love.

Now, open your eyes. What is your dream job? What does it look like? Is it a job that allows you to have a jet setting lifestyle, flying from country to country – speaking, consulting or carrying out charitable missions?

Or is it a job that helps people and businesses solve problems or build things? Is providing solutions to customers your cup of tea?

What about a job with unlimited salary upside? Do you like working with people? Do you want your work to have flexible timing?
----------

But let’s face reality – some of you might say. All these are ideal jobs. The world is facing the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. There are more redundancies than we can say the Great Singapore Sale.

The real question is, is a downturn really so pessimistic? Does it really affect your long term career?

I believe what’s really important in upturns and downturns is the skills that you offer to your employers. Have you heard that companies are hiring despite the downturn? Yes. Have you read in the news that companies are still investing in this crisis? Yes. The truth is, businesses and employers are seeking opportunities today. Are you offering opportunities to employers?

And if you are ready to offer employers something useful, are you able to communicate your skill sets to them? Are you able to communicate your strengths well? Because with all the knowledge you possess that gives you an unfair advantage, it’ll be very disappointing if you can’t flaunt it. Life’s fair, isn’t it?

Therefore, we need communication skills. We need a workshop to show us all how we can be equipped with the right skills to clinch that job that is no longer a dream. This workshop is about your career. It is about moving ahead. It is a life skill you cannot afford not to learn. Are you taking action for your future now?
----------

And to show you this invaluable know-how, we have a world-class speaker to show us how.
