I would suggest that rather than listing some good points about you it may be worth giving three examples of where you have had positive feedback in your previous jobs. Stick to three points as people can remember threes.

If you can, make the presentation visual.

But the biggest thing is rehearse it out loud at least four times. One of which should be in front of a real audience. I have just marked six presentations at a university and the top scoring presentation was the one where they were word perfect.

I hope this helps

Let me know how you get on

Apologies

I thought that I had replied to this a few days ago

Perhaps the best way to do this would be to ask your customers about your best qualities in our current job.

You will then have to pick your best three. If you present these with the feedback that you have received it will be very powerful. Independent endorsement is a lot more powerful than simply telling the audience what you think that they would like to hear.

Illustrate your talk with examples that show your qualities. if for example one of your customers said that you were “good at meeting deadlines” you may wish to provide an example of how you worked through the weekend to get out a proposal and then personally drove to Sheffield to be sure that it was delivered on time.

Make sure that you also provide some form of handout. This could be a few slides or just typing up some of the customer feedback. Whatever you leave behind make sure that it is nicely laid out and on good quality paper. Personally I use a 130 gm paper.

Good luck with the interview and if you need any more information, or would like to let us know how it went please drop us a line.

Kind regards

I have just been told I need to prepare an pesentation on ‘What makes a successful property consultant’ the day afer tomorrow. This is my second interview for the job as an Estate Agent but no time limit has been given. Help!

As regards lenght of the speech. Keep it short and snappy. No one ever complained of a presentation being too long.

A good length would be ten minutes.

Just pick the top three qualities that make a good property consultant and then give an example of how you fit into each category.

If for example say “understanding the customer” is important -give an example that shows how well you have understood a particularly demanding customer.

Also be prepared for the question – don’t you think that xyz is important. The answer to this is “yes it very important, but I only had ten minutes to present and I wanted to make it snappy” if you can think on your feet you may be able to give an example of how you have been able to demonstrate that you are good at xyz.

I hope this works. Drop us a line on the board to let us know how you got on.

I am to give a 3 minute speech about how i would make a difference as school captain. I want to leave a big impact as i only have short while to speak. Do you have any ideas? Thanks

Perhapds the best thing to present is three quick fire ideas of what you can do. Limit it to three ideas – the reason is that the audience can not take in any more. See this page rule of three

Then use a picture to present each idea. This should mean that your presentation is much more memorable.

i want to know how to give a memorable speech for campaigning for the post of school captaincy

Doctor

There are three basics to making a speech more memorable.

All of these are featured on the site.

1. Use the rule of three to stucture you speech. One topic, three themes, three things to remember

2. Use visuala to improve message retention

3. Rehearse

I hope to be able to build a sequence to help to demonstrate this over the next few days

Guest

Easy… 1 2 3… rule of three

I coached job hunters to invite questions like the one you have coming – it a good one.

Remember STA imagine a star of david on your interviewer

S – Security “Im a person with high integrity which is why my last emplyer promoted me to xyz..”

T- Teamwork – “I alos work well in teams although I have often worked solo in order to see a job through even if it means working over”

A – Ability ” I would really like the opportunity to work with your company as I do feel I have the ability to a really great job – I have the necessary qualifications, some sound experience and the desire to work well within your team”

I need to have a 5 min presentation to talk about what I have done in the past two months of the internship. I have done a lot of things, but do not know what should be included. And, I am afraid that it will be really boring if I follow what usual people do.

Sales speech

I need to a 5-10 minute presentation on anything to do with Sales for a job in recruitment.

Any ideas?

Was thinking a look at “cold-callin” as something potentially humerous.

hi – humour is always a good ice breaker becuase you engage your audience. however, don’t try to be too funny as it may detract from your presentation.

Steve Hooker MBA

KISS – Keep it Simple Stupid or Stupidly Simple

Great question for a presentation.
Start with what you are answering
Tell them
Summarise

Have a structure.
They will have things they are looking for. Do you know? Is in the advert, what did they or the interviewer ask on the phone. As always prepare. What equipment will be available, what sort of room, will their be a flipchart etc.
You need to address these things – even if you are lousy at elements they ask for. Dig deep for a good example of where you have shown that experience or a close example / transferrable skill.

If this is part of the process – they will be looking for some new elements, centering around communication, presence, dealing with stress. What do you think they are hoping to get out from the presentation?

Practise it

Ask for feedback on the presentation from someone who can help. A colleague / spouse – ask them to be honest and hard.

What are the likely question areas? Prepare the answers.

After the presentation, capture your own thoughts on how it went. (We should do this after all our presentations). After the event, particularly if you do not get it, ask for specific feedback. (We should always ask for feedback on how it went – timely and specific).

Regards
Steve

Help for interview PP on Thursday

Hi all – This is my first post so I am hoping that someone out there can help me. I have been invited to a final interview with a company being one of two candidates out of the origional 20 interviewed. I have been asked to complete a 10 minute presentation on the topc
‘How will you help ( company name), to realise maximum value from its CMS and managed hosting offers’

I am well versed at presenting but for the life of me cannot think of subject matter to get started on this. I would be really greatful if anyone has any ideas of suggestions that they would use so I can work out best ways to address this.

Thank you in advance . . .i hope 🙂

Job Interview Presentations

Hi there the key to solving this problem is strucure. Also most organisations ask situational or behavioural based interviews i.e. they want evidence of how you acted in a sepcific situation.

So, think about the job you’re going after and the types of situations you’re likely to come across.

Next think about the three behviours you can demonstrate, list them.

Against each one tell a short story or anecdote about when you showed the behaviour.

Finally after each point provide a benefit that the employer will get by giving you the job.

All the best

Stuart
