Playing the GAME How to pretend you know what you’re doing

�You are judged immediately – by your classmates, your teacher, a potential boss, etc. �Sometimes, it’s best not to care what others think of you. �It’s ok to be confident and be yourself no matter what…except The TRUTH

�With people who can make your life miserable. �Consider your AUDIENCE when you present yourself!! The TRUTH

�Sometimes, it ◦ Potential boss ◦ Teachers ◦ Administrators IS BEST TO CARE: �If you make a good impression on people who can affect how annoyed you are, you are less annoyed. (DUH. ) Think about AUDIENCE and PURPOSE…

�When you first meet someone important: LOOK LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING!

�When you first meet someone important: ◦ Ask his or her name ◦ Introduce yourself (shake their hand? ) ◦ Look them directly in the eye ◦ Give them a compliment ◦ Be respectful ◦ Listen carefully to whatever s/he says LOOK LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING!

�When you turn in a paper: LOOK LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING!

�When you turn in a paper: ◦ Write neatly ◦ Write your name, date, title of assignment, and teachers name at the top ◦ Proofread and be sure it is correct ◦ Be sure it is neat/organized (and not all over the place) ◦ Clean ripped edges off LOOK LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING!

�Take supplies WITH you. You announce that you may not be a good student when you ask the teacher for paper/pencil. And be prepared…

�You already know how to impress your classmates and peers. That’s great and all, but they don’t decide your grade or whether you get a job or not… �Now, practice impressing people that can HELP YOU when you need it! DO IT!
