spare, choose your top five organizations, do
the research and then add more organizations as
time allows.

appropriately;

transcript, reference sheet, portfolio,
pen/pencil and notebook;

brief overview of you, your background and

review the database of employers;
• Introduce yourself with a smile and a
handshake and begin your commercial.
