Interview presentation...!!

[Darren_Test]

As part of my interview process I have to provide a 5 minute presentation on my experience..! I never done an interview presentation. Any one here have prior experience in interview presentation..?

Should I take laptop for this interview or just get presentation on a memory stick..???

Any tips on interview presentation..?? Thanks in advance..

If you are going to use powerpoint then come with your own laptop just in case.

And then to be more anal come with it on a memory stick.

Both, plus paper as backup...

5 minutes - 3 slides max

Don't read the slides out, talk around any points, focus on the positives.

Practice beforehand

Good luck!

Thanks for the input..
I am not sure they expect oral or visual presentation..I assumed its visual, so I have to get confirmed on that...My plan is to make a 5 slide PPT pesentation & given them print outs prior to presentation for reference..Have to google and get more ideas as well..

Emm, good luck with that. A 5 minute presentation, what a waste of time

It's like an episode of "just a minute"

No hesitation, repetition or deviation allowed.

When I was at Oracle, I had to prepare a 15 minute presentation on why they should promote me, followed by 15 minutes Q&A, to two different managers who hadn't managed me before.

So I could get a 0% pay rise and they could bill me out at £500 a day more.

WHS - what on Earth can you accomplish in a 5 minute presentation?? Tell them to shove it.

I'd also ask - at what point in the interview process is this going to be? Are you going to end up using up your 5 minutes introducing yourself to them, or is this instead of the usual going through the CV?

Be prepared to deal skilfully with any interruptions - I would interrupt if I were interviewing, and then complain that you were running late if it over-ran. but then, I'm a ****.

This is the first time I am there..its a senior role. haven't said they expect a visual presentation or just an expanded "a tell me about your self" orally..I am going to ask that..
