"The bulk of my experience comes from my time at university, where I prepared a variety of speeches and keynote presentations. My dad worked as a graphic designer and taught me early on that visuals were just as important as what you had to say. So, I was particularly proud of my presentations and how well they were received. Public speaking, as nerve-wracking as it sometimes can be, is something I am no stranger to. I am confident in my public speaking and presentation skills. I look forward to gaining even more experience in preparing and delivering professional presentations for clients and internal stakeholders in a Square setting and learning more about their approach to design."

"In my current role, I regularly present to my clients and my team of twenty advisors. To gain confidence as a speaker and presenter, I became a Toastmasters member two years ago. Since joining, I have taken courses such as 'The Better Speaker' series, 'Beginning Your Speech,' and 'Concluding Your Speech.' I also have training in PowerPoint, Prezi, and Keynote, so I can make my presentations visually engaging."

The responsibilities of this position at Square may include planning, preparing, and delivering presentations to clients or other stakeholders. For some, public speaking can be intimidating. Whether in college or grad school, if you're just starting, or in a professional setting, consider how you would describe your comfort zone with public speaking, your willingness to step outside your comfort zone, and your presentation skills.
