You should say:
when it happened
who you talked to
why you gave this talk
and explain how you felt about the talk
A memorable instance when I addressed a large gathering was during my university’s annual career fair last spring. The event drew hundreds of enthusiastic students eager to explore diverse career prospects and gain insights from seasoned professionals. I was invited to speak to a group of final-year students, sharing my experiences and lessons from my journey into the corporate world.
Addressing a captive audience of ambitious young minds, I felt a surge of responsibility and enthusiasm to inspire and empower them to pursue their professional aspirations fervently. Emphasizing the importance of ‘hitting the ground running,’ I underscored the significance of proactive networking, leveraging ‘the early bird catches the worm’ approach. Sharing my career trajectory and ‘lessons learned’ anecdotes, I aimed to instill a sense of resilience and ‘never say die’ spirit in the face of challenges. Witnessing the rapt attention and ‘eager beaver’ enthusiasm of the students was immensely gratifying, fueling my passion for mentorship and community engagement.
The lively interactive session concluded with a lively Q&A, fostering a ‘two-way street’ of knowledge exchange, leaving me invigorated and humbled by the opportunity to contribute to the growth and development of the next generation. This experience solidified my belief in the adage ‘knowledge is power,’ reaffirming my commitment to paying it forward and nurturing future leaders.
