Job interview presentation
Hey all,
I have a job interview on Wednesday and I have to do a 3-5 minute presentation on any topic I want. I chose to do it on 'Effective Presenting'. I've done millions of different types of presentations in my life between work and school, but I'm nervous about this b/c it's a big part of the interview and I really want this job.
I researched some stuff on the Web about creating an effective presentation and even got creative with Power Point... but I don't know if they will have any technology available... so I just printed out the slides and will make 2 copies - 1 for each interviewer. I want this to go really well. I'm trying to think of ways to dress this up and add some humor in. On some slides where I show 'samples' of a poster presentation I put in 'Hire 'ME'' on the poster and for a sample of a power point presentation I drew a picture of a computer (my version of power point is so outdated there's limited clip art so I'm going to do some drawing - is that tacky?) and the sample slide reads: '3 top reasons to hire 'me'' with 3 bullets that say 'Enthusiasm'; 'Team Player'; and 'Excellent presentations skills'. Thinking they may find the subliminal messages cute. How does this sound so far. Making presentation to large groups is the basis of the job. Thoughts???
