​Session Description
Being able to confidently sell yourself, whether to an employer or for higher education admission, is a skill that everyone can learn. Push will look into the use of ‘showing rather than telling’ and how stories (not specific qualifications) can greatly illustrate a person's skill set. When students can reflect on their positive traits and skills they can apply that thinking in a ‘sales’ context; this could be for university applications, job applications, interviews or other situations. Through a dissection of TV adverts, we highlight the 3 key lessons of marketing to show what makes products successful. Ultimately, they will learn to be the best salesperson for a great product: themselves.
