Presenting Your Credentials During A Seminar: What's the Best Way of Doing It?

Wednesday, April 9, 2008

A seminar is an event where you get to meet people who are in the same business as you. Being one of the participants, you learn a lot of things including tips, techniques and guides to operating a successful business. Or in another case, you attend seminars so you can meet people whom you would like to work with in the future. Indeed, going to a seminar allows you to get to know important individuals. This is a common event which usually takes place at the end of the seminar. Individuals working for different companies chat with the same kind of people to build marketing relationships. Thus, it's a really great idea if you attend seminars with a goal of presenting your credentials to people you would like to work with.



Present your credentials in a visually remarkable fashion

At first, you may think that you will be the only who will be presenting your credentials during the seminar but by the time you arrive, you notice that some attendees have the same idea as you. Never fear though. You have to make yourself presentable as well. Dress as if you are applying for your dream job. Be prepared to answer questions fired at you randomly and always answer with direct and honest answers. With regards to your credentials, place them neatly in a folder. Your credentials have the biggest impact on deciding your future career. Not only should it provide your achievements in the field of education and work experience but it must also give a professional impression. Hence your first impression must have the very best effort.



On the actual presentation of credentials

When you present your credentials (that includes your cover letter, resume, business cards and leave behinds), separate them into folders so your potential employers won't have a hard time looking for a particular record. Remember to be proud of your credentials. When they see that you are really the right person for the job, your chance of employment is big.



Since presenting your credentials during a seminar is not really what you would call a formal job interview, you can skip adding references to your credentials. You can add it later when you are called for a formal interview. Aside from the competition you'll have to deal with, remember that you'll have a hard time presenting your credentials with the same people for the second time. Give your best shot and make your credentials as professional as they can be.
