Day 19 tasks:
Puli Presentation
Final Comments on Projects
Overview of final weeks
Sign up for final conferences
1. Puli Presentation: I sneaked a peak at the rest of this presentation over the weekend, and I'm very excited to hear the rest!
2. Final Comments on Projects: First I'll talk a little about how you did with the projects. We'll wrap up the unit with some information about application of this project to your future business goals. (You all did a great job!)
3. Overview of final weeks: Over the next two weeks we'll primarily be covering business negotiation strategies. We'll also talk about interview techniques. Here is a tentative schedule of topics:
Day 19: Introduce Negotiation
Day 20: Negotiation Strategies
Day 21: Diplomatic Language
Day 22: Interview Skills
Day 23: Conferences
Day 24: Conferences
Although we won't have time to do cover letters or resumes in class, I will ask you one or two interview questions at the final conference. Therefore, you may bring a resume as a prop, and I'll look at it IF THERE IS TIME.
4. Sign up for final conferences: I'll fill in the locations later, but please sign up for your conference time on Google Docs http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dfb7fktm_4d3wb7bfq
During the final conference, I will tell you your grade and discuss any issues you may need help with from the final assignments. If there is anything you are missing or need to revise, I'll let you know at this conference (or if you're good to go!). Since we're talking about interviewing skills, the conference will as a mock interview. I'll ask you a couple of job interview questions and then give you feedback on how you answered.
5. Introduction to negotiation language:
The Art of Negotiating
Characteristics of Effective negotiators
Negotiation Strategies
Language Functions for Negotiation
