Paper For Above instruction

The assignment requires selecting one of two topics for an introductory speech and creating an outline or speaking notes in Microsoft Word. The first option, Topic A, involves crafting an elevator pitch that succinctly describes your professional background, skills, and experience, aimed at impressing potential employers during a job interview. The second, Topic B, entails discussing your dream career, including motivations, aspirations, and future career goals. The outline should focus on 2-3 main points to ensure the speech remains brief and within the 2-minute presentation limit. Using the provided Microsoft Word template found in the Week 2 course section, the student should organize their key ideas clearly and concisely. Submission is to be made through Blackboard, and only the outline is required—there is no need to prepare a full speech or essay at this stage. The emphasis is on clarity, focus, and effective organization of main ideas suitable for a brief oral presentation.
