Job Interview With Presentation

[cens2112]

Hi,

I have a job interview next week, I have been told that I need to do a 10 minute power-point presentation
’Describe how your personal contribution will benefit the role both in the current climate and moving forward'
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I should include or how this should be set out? I've wrote down a few bullet points but I don't know if this is the best way to do the presentation

Thanks

lol what IS the role??

I would suggest a mixture of evidence from past experience and suggestions specific to the role/team/company you are hoping to join. A mixture of bullet points and images/charts helps break it up but it would really help to have a bit more info on the role/sector to be able to give more advice.

I'd advise that whatever you put (and agree with above) you keep the powerpoint itself simple and don't be tempted to flash it up with animations, floating banners and all that stuff, bullet points would be good - make them concise enough that they will prompt you to know what you're going to say, bearing in mind you will probably be nervous,

God, do people really still expect Powerpoint presentations? I thought they died out years ago.

My only suggestion is don't simply read out what's on the screen. Just use it as a backdrop to what you want to say. And keep it simple.

Personally, I'd rather someone communicated by speech rather than use a Powerpoint presentation.

Unless, of course, the job you are applying for is Powerpoint Presentation Executive. Then it should be all singing and dancing.
