It’s important to know what you are going to say before you make the call or meet in person. Plan it out ahead of time and practice. Speak slowly in a clear, loud voice. Remember to introduce yourself immediately! This guide may be of some help:
Introduce yourself and be sure to include:
Ø Your name, grade, and school
Ø Explain that you are arranging a place to visit for Career Day
Ø Explain that you are interested in their area of business and would like to visit, observe, and learn more
Ø You need to participate a minimum of 4 hours
Ask:
Ø How can you get the school contract signed? Ask for their fax number.
Ø Who do you report to on Career Day?
Ø What time should you be there?
