Volume 3, Number 1 (Fall 2006) Join the Special Ops Team by Dave Law For National Ergonomics Month, the student chapter announced the creation of the SJSU HFES "Special Ops" Team. Don't worry, it's not the kind of Special Ops where we overturn rogue governments and hunt down terrorists (like I enjoy doing on weekends). Instead, we will be meeting to discuss ways to enhance our careers in Human Factors. You've worked hard learning all about HFE, but it won't mean anything until you can convince someone to listen to you! Sessions will include: Tutorials Develop an effective presentation (using HF principles) Use PowerPoint to develop compelling slides (taught by Dr. Andre) Create a simple website for an online portfolio Defending yourself from skeptics of HFE Hone your 'elevator speech', i.e. explain what you do in 45 seconds or less Public speaking Student presentations on topics of interest (i.e. you pick the topic. All are invited!) Presentations to educate the public about HFE by presenting to local clubs such as IDSA, Marketing Club, Psych Club, high schools, and the career center The overarching goals for this team are to build our skills as professionals, and also to step up our efforts to spread the merits of HFE to the world. This is an opportunity to hone your presentation skills in a safe, supportive environment, and then to apply those skills in a live, practical presentation setting.
