Good luck.
If they're interviewing you then they think you can do the job and that's all that counts. Relax and get stuck in.Your friendly neighbourhood VirtualMonkey - Not giving financial advice since...well...ever.Comment

Know your audience before you start, no point in having a detailed presentation on some IT type stuff and presenting to the HR manager and the tea boy.
If you are using powerpoint write it then remove half the words from the slides, then half again, and do the same again.
Learn the basics of standing/movement from any presentation skills info. Most people are at the extremes of being rooted to the spot or dancing around like they've just taken speed.Comment

You will be grand - flash them a big MP smile (& not your ass!) & knock them over with your knowledge.
They wouldn't interview you if they didn't think you were up to the job.Bazza gets caught
