Your resume is a marketing document. It is NOT an autobiography. Readers want to know what you have done recently to add value in the companies you have been associated with. Skills, experiences, and achievements from 25 or 30 years ago or more are almost certainly irrelevant at this point. But, if those early experiences are still relevant, you do hav “Put it before them briefly so they will read it, clearly so they will appreciate it, picturesquely so they will remember it” said Joseph Pulitzer. This neatly sums up writing and giving a presentation. Let’s look at three ways you can use to help you give more powerful presentations. 1. Use the “Rule of Three” Your presentation should be divided into these three distinctive parts: • The opening Here you establish rapport with your audience and introduce your topic. The opening should be more than 5% to 10% of your presentation length. The opening should also give three main points coming up in your presentation. • The main body Your topic information is provided here. Your three main points are discussed using no more than three minor points for each main point. This should take up no more than 70% of your presentation time. For a one hour presentation, for example, it would run about 40 minutes. • The conclusion A strong, unifying conclusion or summary is very important. This is where you briefly reiterate your main points and their respective values. Your conclusion is the part of your presentation that most attendees will remember best. Make it count.

The thunderous applause that followed went on far longer than his speech had. It is remembered to this day. Time your presentation to take a little LESS time than you’ve been allowed. Hardly anyone has ever complained about a presentation that was shorter than expected. On the other hand, if it runs longer than expected … 3. Use Appropriate Anecdotes and Humor There really a number of ways you can successfully incorporate appropriate quotes, anecdotes and humor into your public speaking. A little laughter never hurt anyone, and once you get a rapport with your audience, your presentation is bound to be a successful one. Try some of these possibilities: • A comic strip panel (especially one which imparts its humor without using words) • A Cartoon or humorous video clip (a short digital video clip of a few seconds can easily be inserted into a Power Point or other audio-visual presentation program slide) • A couple of well-placed jokes (if you don’t have a good source for jokes, there are lots of sources online) • Use humorous graphics or funny photos to help illustrate a theme or point • Humorous anecdotes are always popular and can be found online and in printed publications alike.
