Overview
As a speaker, you will be invited to make a presentation to students about your career journey. This is a time to excite and motivate young people about the career options and opportunities available to them.

Goals / Objectives of Career Talk
The purpose of your presentation is to:

1. Introduce students to your career
2. Raise students’ career aspirations and personal goals
3. Provide students with a road map of how to achieve these goals
4. Provide a role model so they can strive to achieve their own personal and financial successes.

What to Expect
During your session, you will interact with the Form 4 and/or Form 5 students and can play an important part in being a role model for them.

No of times to deliver talk
You will be given a 20 minutes slot for each session. 5 minutes is reserved to switch classroom & prepare for next session.Depending on the number of speakers available in your specified group, ranging from 1 to 3 speakers, you need to deliver your talk for 11 sessions.

1. If only 1 speaker available, then he/she will need to deliver 11 sessions continuously.
2. If there are 2 speakers available, then they can rotate where one of them will deliver 6 sessions and the other 5 sessions.
3. If there are 3 speakers available, then they can rotate where two of them will deliver 4 sessions, and the other 3 sessions.

Presentation Mode
Classroom talk/presentation with or without any slides/visual aids.Up to the speaker's own choice.Note : All 22 classrooms in TIKL today are equipped with projectors.Speakers intending to use projectors are advised to bring own Notebooks/Thinkpads or share within your designated groups.Speakers must also be prepared to deliver talk using notes if projector is not working properly.We need to follow the time given strictly so that it will not delay other speakers to start delivering their talk in the next session.

Presentation Objectives
You are to share your personal experience working in your focus area.Need to emphasize your speech starting from after your graduation or starting from the first day you start work in your focus area until today.No need to touch too much during your study period since it will be covered during their own Career Carnival organized between TIKL and Education Ministry from 7-10 July.Our Career Talk is more to personalized sharing with students & would like to encourage students to ask questions directly to the speakers (2-way communication).

Q & A Tips
Be prepared for personal questionsHow much money do you make?Tell students about entry-level salaries, opportunities for growth.How much vacation time do you have?Are you married?Do you have children? Be prepared to deal with inappropriate behaviourWhile most students want to be at presentations, some students will try your patience.Tips to handle inappropriate behaviour:-Ask disruptive person(s) to volunteer own experiences or help you with presentation.Diffuse situations by saying “we’ll discuss that at the break, if there is time”.Call teacher quietly.Ask the student politely to leave. Take “Trinkets and trash” to hand out to students Speakers are encouraged to provide sweets, candies, stickers, pens, slinkies, stress balls, etc. to be given out to students who participated in Q&A session.Example, student who asked a very good question or students who managed to answer speaker's question correctly.If you can get your company or Corporate Comm Dept to sponsor/provide you with the above will be muchly appreciated.

Well done Brothers and Sisters!

Alhamdulillah, everything went according to plan.

Heartfelt thanks to all the committee members. The event would not had been possible without your passion; under whatever circumstances.... ups and downs...

This is just a beginning. I like to look ahead in imagination to what the future may bring (in this context) and let us be positive in looking forward to the challenge.

For now, let us drain our exhaustion before starting to proceed to our next brainstorming for ASTIKA.

It was also an appeal to see the presence of all our Special Guests. I am persuading all of you to chip in your ideas and thought regarding the initiation of ASTIKA. In fact let us be part of it; indeed it will be colossal task, but it would be a worthwhile effort.

Regards and look forward to meet you again.
