The document outlines an agenda for a workshop on introducing oneself during a job interview. It includes activities to learn new vocabulary, practice introductions, and learn how to respond to common interview questions like "tell me about yourself." Participants review words like "concise" and "sweaty palms" and fill in blanks about interview etiquette. They also discuss and practice introducing themselves, with tips to be brief yet highlight relevant experience. Case studies demonstrate strong versus weak self-introductions. The workshop concludes with a dictation activity to reinforce the content.
