Talking Resume Presentations

Here's a new idea that I need to share with you. I took a phone call from someone yesterday that had been on the Presentations That Talk! website. The gentleman was an executive "between jobs" (as we say). He had done all the regular and typical things . . . he had polished up his resume, bought a new suit and was working with recruiters. He had a three potential positions - all at the CEO level - but one that he really wanted to nail. He loved this opportunity and he thought he was perfect for the company and for the problem/opportunity the Board wanted (needed) to address. He now needed a way to really catch the Board's attention.

This was his idea (not mine). He wanted to create a PowerPoint presentation with the following components. He wanted a Talking Resume Presentation.

1. Some biographical information explaining why he was just the right fit.
2. His suggestions/concepts on what he would do to "fix" the problem.
3. His suggestion on how he and the Board could work together to bring him into the company in the least disruptive way possible.

He had a great presentation flow already outlined and wanted help to create the presentation and script it and then he would voice narrate to it. He of course wanted to narrate it himself as one of the key values of an executive is their ability to communicate and he wanted to demonstrate this with sincerity and enthusiasm.

It is too early to tell if he will "nail" this exciting and rewarding position but his approach is different and his presentation compelling. I wish him good luck.

Consider how you could help someone land that big position or perhaps that big contract by letting them know about online voice narrated presentations. Visit the website of Presentations That Talk to see examples of Online Voice Narrated Presentations and to learn more.
