You  may narrow the scope of your presentation if you desire, such as  focusing on networking within the military rather than general  networking strategies or focusing on salary negotiations in STEM fields  rather than in general for all fields. Choose a topic for your  presentation that is practical and relevant to your career interests! 

Carefully review the presentation rubric. Your presentation must include the following:

The equivalent of 8-16 PowerPoint slides although you may use any appropriate technology to present (PowerPoint, Prezi, Slideshare, etc.). Carefully follow the guidelines for Presentations discussed in Week 7!

• Two professional research sources correctly cited in APA style. In  addition to using in-text citations for specific sentences or bulleted  items on each slide, include a references slide or section at the end of  the presentation. Review Documenting Sources.
• One visual aid created by you IN ADDITION TO any other decorative visuals used. The original visual aid created by you might be a pie chart, bar chart, line chart, infographic, flowchart, etc. Review Visual Media and Design, Visual Aids, and Visual Ethics for how to design effective visuals. For how to cite visuals, review Documenting Visuals.
