Be HONEST in the reasons you want the job, because that's what it is.  Stick to a platform you can actually produce, i.e. better food in the cafeteria, better choices in snack foods, or ways to decrease obesity among fellow students.  Suggest a workout for after school, and then a monitoring system to follow progess.  Present a worthwhile goal: an Ipod, a PDA, whatever.  Go to a company who sells these items and see if they will donate for a good cause, usually they will, sometimes they have NEVER been asked!  Let ONE company get added awareness among the student body for their efforts.\n\nMany companies vie for the attention of 'first adopters.'  These are usually teenagers who want to strike out on their own, and move away from the brands their parents chose.

Answer all questions with a tone of confidence and looking into the interviewers eyes.  Don't use slang, such as 'yeah'; it should be something like, "Yes, I have worked in the industry for 3 years." etc.  At the end stand up, offer a firm handshake, and say "I'm sure I could be an asset to your company and I look forward to hearing from you."

1) Brainstorm.  Start with a list of everything that you can think of that you may want to include in your speech.  This is a stage where you generate ideas, so turn off your censor/editor and WRITE EVERYTHING down that you can think of.  Even if your ideas are dumb, they may help you think of other ideas after you have something written down.  Set a time limit for brainstorming so that you have to think quickly.  try 2-5 minutes.\n\n2) Pick your best idea and start with that.  In a speech, it's good to start with something unusual, something memorable, funny, etc.  Don't start with the boring stuff.  You want people to lean in to listen.\n\n3) If you're trying to think of an approach to start, you could begin with:\n\n--Your first impressions of the two teachers.\n--Accomplishments that people may not know about the teachers.\n--Statistics about how many students they've impacted, or some accomplishments of the students they've instructed.\n--Point out/remind people of a lovable/quirky trait about the teachers.  Like a common phrase they use or their trademark green sweater and purple tie, who knows?  (Be careful not to offend) \n\n4) After you have a rough draft of the speech, read it out loud.  If it doesn't sound like you're having a normal conversation, edit it so that it sounds like you're talking to someone.\n\n5) Rehearse the speech to a person who doesn't know the teachers.  Ask for honest feedback about areas that could be improved/shortened/lengthened.\n\n6) Rehearse the speech to a person who does know the teachers.  Ask if it's a speech that honors them, and again honest feedback for improvement.\n\n7) More ideas on brainstorming:  When I was a writing tutor, I often had to get students to brainstorm on a topic that they felt stumped on.  I'd ask them some questions about their topics similar to the following prompts.\nTry any of these prompts to get you going, and freewrite about them:\n\n--If each teacher was a color, what color would he/she be and why?\n\n--What would your grandmother have to say about these teachers?\n\n--Name some traits about these teachers that you wish you had.\n\n--Name some things about these teachers that most people don't have.\n\n--Why could this teacher never be replaced?\n\n--List some things about these teachers that students may not know.\n\n--If the teacher was a character from Shakespeare/Bible/Dickens/ (other classic literature), who would he/she be, and why?\n\n--If the teacher was a character from The Real World/The O.C./Survivor/Desperate Housewives/(Other popular show), who would he/she be, and why?\n\nGood luck on generating ideas!

If it is during and interview, tell the truth: for example, I am goo in computers, but I am not as organized ad I would like to be. Always say the positive points first and then the negatives, everybody has weaknesses nobody is perfect, if you do not say them you are lying

LOOK at the camera and smile.  Don't be stiff.  It's a popularity contest, so you have to act cool.  Tell how much you love the school and "if I am elected, I will listen to what YOU have to say...."  Then say, "you can play the popularity contest if you want, and vote for the popular person, but if you want to actually get something done, vote for me, ciaobella_88.

You are talking to ex-president of student cuoncil ^_^\n\nAnyway, be honest.  Don't tell them that you will give them free candy everyday.  Don't bribe people, I mean jokingly, you can do it, for example.\n\nSome class clowns had an idea when I was running.  They wanted me to have a mascot, and then they would vote for me.  It was BoBoBo, a pug.  I never made any promises like I will bring a pug to school, but it was just a joke so people just knew who BoBoBo was voting for.\n\nYou might think you can't beat a popular girl, that is what I thought.\n\nI was in a completely new school and it was 2 months into the school year, and I still won most of the votes.  How?  I was honest and sincere.  Don't seem nervous, you will be nervous, but don't show it.  Smile if you have a good smile, or find "your look."  Don't change yourself, be yourself, and have fun!

i've been speaking in front of groups for 25 years.  What works best for me are:\n\n  - Practice speech ahead of time\n  - Always use questions in talks (brings audience into presentation)\n\nIf this is not a formal presentation, and you're just meeting some people for networking, I always practice ahead of time points of discussion.  I usually avoid politics and religion.\n  Fair game are sports, what do you do for a living?, do you have children?  I use a little mnemonic\n\n  F - family (have kids?  what does spouse do?)\n  O - occupation (what do u do for living?)\n  R - recreation (what do u do for fun?  tennis?...)\n  M - motivation (what excites you?  movies? ...)\n\ngood luck\nted

How about if YOU become a candidate.  Run for a local office and learn about yourself and your prospective constituents firsthand!  Quit bellyaching and put yourself on the spot!  Lots of folks complain but few are willing to put up with what a candidate and then the politician has to put up with.

Talk about your achievements, your strengths, and what you can bring to the company. Good luck!

You are talking to the ex-president of student council!! I did my speech in front of the whole school without fainting, so let me help you out.\n\nFellow students, I am here today to tell you why you should vote for ME to be your student council class representative.

You can trust me to go to all the meetings and report back to you with accuracy and details.  (if people are bribing, here it goes) I do not want to buy your votes, nor do I want this to be a popularity contest, I am doing this because I want our school to be a better place for all of us.  (Here, you might want to talk about some special things you have done for the community, like gotten the academic presidential award or citizenshop award).  (Here goes the last line).  So if you want a smart, reliable, and responsible student council representative, then vote for me, and I will make this your best year at (insert school name here) EVER!

I don't know how the exact words to use in your pamphlet, however, I could tell you what components you should include in your pamphlet:\n\n1) Your Name (This is important! People must know you you are!)\n2) Your Rationales (objective)(eg. to improve the studying conditions of puplis/students, etc.)(It must be clear)\n3) Your Methodologies (what you plan to do and how. You can reinforce this with your current achievements)(again, it must be very clear)\n4) Your Conclusion (do not tell grandfather stories)\nIt need not be very long. Limit the number of words to around 100 words.\n\nOne note of caution though, do not put in unrealistic sentences such as :" If you vote for me, I will assure you that your wildest dreams/desires will come through." People will then have a very high expectation of you, so if you win the election and people's wildest dreams do not come through, you will be in a lot of trouble.\n\nPS. Please make sure you do not make the words too small as that would look like a mini essay to you. If you were one of the target audience, would you be bothered with an election essay? Nobody would be interested.\nA BIG and flashy title ought to do the trick.
