Speaking

Heather R. Huhman, founder & president of Come Recommended, is available to speak to both student and employer groups. All presentations are customized and can range in length from 30 minutes to 3 hours depending on your needs. Although Heather does occasionally speak on a pro bono basis, if the speaking engagement is in-person, all of her travel and accommodations must be paid by the booking individual/organization.

Sample student audience topics:

  • Résumé and cover letter writing
  • Before, during and after an interview
  • How to gain relevant experience…fast
  • Managing stress while finishing school and job hunting
  • How to make yourself more noticeable to employers online
  • Your final semester game plan

Sample employer audience topics:

  • Hiring and retaining highly recommended entry-level employees and interns
  • Recruiting 2.0 strategies
  • How to develop a mutually beneficial internship program
  • How to develop and maintain a virtual internship program
  • How to build a Gen Y-friendly benefits package

Heather can lead the following types of presentations:

  • Live online discussion (archivable)
  • Webinar (archivable)
  • In-person speech (30 minutes)
  • In-person workshop (1-3 hours)
  • In-person seminar (1-3 hours)

While Heather thoroughly enjoys giving in-person presentations, she recognizes organizations are working with limited budgets. In addition to being more affordable, another benefit of scheduling Heather for a live online discussion or Webinar is the ability to book multiple panelists from Come Recommended’s list of current sponsors (availability varies).
