The host who tried to make a joke with the Dalai Lama

Comments 0Tue, 26 Jul 2011 03:14:32 GMT

Many speakers think that it is a good idea to open their presentations with a joke. The theory is that it introduces humour and put the audience at ease, and thus builds trust. But even in a one-on-one situation jokes can go horribly wrong as Carl found out. Don’t let this happen to you! Darren Fleming takes us through how to avoid making a fool of ourselves in presentations!

Getting the job you want!

Most resumes are a generic summary of a person’s work history, with some education and personal interest information. A lot of covering letters are merely a summary of the resume and highlight particular points a job seeker feels are important.
