This week high school students are working on the PowerPoints for the career fair. Here are some helpful hints to remember to keep your PowerPoint PROFESSIONAL.
  • Limit your fonts to 1 or 2 fonts.
  • Keep fonts appropriate (a child-like font would be fine for a daycare but not a mechanic).
  • Have an instructor proof-read your presentation; make necessary corrections.
  • Pictures as backgrounds to the slide can be nice, but are often overused and make the words hard to read. If you must use a picture as a background consider fading the picture or coloring the background of the text.
  • Sound can be helpful but should make sense and be choosen in the appropriate spot.
  • Keep colors consistent through out the entire presentation. It may be a good idea to choose colors that represent the business you visited.

I had an exhilirating time at the Career Fair, but I did pretty good. Now I'm all psyched up because Alex McB and I are working on doing a column in the school newspaper all about rock music, bands, guitars, etc. I'm super-excited!!!
