Breaking the Ice with an activity |
Our first attempt at this was in the area of Setúbal and the city of Seixal. On Saturday afternoon, January 8, 2011 we held a workshop that covered: 1. Understanding your strengths and abilities, 2. You in 30 seconds, 3. Power Statements in interviews, 4. Resume writing and 5. Getting value from LDSjobs.org.
We were expecting between 10-15 people and we ended up with 22. We were ecstatic.
The best part was that everyone was serious about being there. Some had travelled quite a distance to participate. Kent invited a young man named João from Beja (a city in the Alentejo) and he came.

Eileen and Céu Cavaco helped folks get registered with LDSjobs.org and to understand basic resume set-up. Paula Pereira and I (Kent) taught the skills portion along with "Comercial em 30 segundos, Declarações de Poder, Brasão and Entrevistas".

Eileen took some fotos (see them included here) and kept the physical items in place. I ran the camera as we filmed some practice interviews. All in all a very successful first run of our mobile CRE. Our next one is in Lisboa for the whole country and it happens the 5th of February.
That's a cool idea-taking it on the road. Ryan
