With 30 Seconds, What Would You Say?
I have been an adjunct professor at the Long Beach State Sport Management Program for a few years now. I originally started teaching the marketing class to different learning teams and that has grown into me overseeing the internship experiences for all students within the program. Although it is part-time, I love the opportunity to give back and mentor students who wish to make sports management a career of choice.
I also teach one of the three classes. Recently, I tried an experiment with a learning team. I offered each of the 26 students an opportunity to speak in front of the camera for 30 seconds. They could sat whatever they wanted to about themselves and to market themselves to future employers. The only restriction was that the message needed to be held to a maximum of 30 seconds.
I also told them I would post the videos on this blog. That was it. Now, I knew that all 26 students would not jump at the opportunity. However, I was rather surprised that only four chose to sit down and deliver their personal message. I taped their raw messages and only added their names into the video itself. Unscripted, here is how they chose to present themselves.
