Interview presentation tips

                 Interviews can be nerve-wracking enough, from making sure your body language doesn’t put off the interviewer to rehearsing common questions, there’s a lot of preparation to do.

If that wasn’t scary enough, some employers now demand you do a presentation as part of the interview process. It's time to read some handy hints.

Time to rehearse

Rehearsals aren’t just for thespians, dahling, it’s vital that you do as much preparation as possible to conquer any nerves. If you have to do a presentation, you'll be given plenty of time to prepare in advance, and you must make the most of it. From writing notes and learning as much as you can by heart, to practising the tone of your voice, there’s plenty to think about.
Worried you might lose your words once you’re in front of the interviewer(s)? Bribe a friend with a cup of tea and get them round to help you practise your presentation until you’re completely confident.

Appearance is everything

Get your appearance right and the job could be yours. Get it wrong, and you’re sitting on the rejection pile.
So find your smartest outfit, give your hair a brush and look your best. After all, you don’t want a scruffy appearance or poor hygiene to leave more of an impact than your presentation.

How to structure a presentation

Structure is the most important thing to get right if you want to keep the interviewer’s attention. But the good news is, it can be fairly simple to do. The key thing is not to waffle on. Write the presentation out, learn it and time it. Unless they tell you otherwise, a job interview presentation shouldn't last more than 10 minutes.

Start with a basic opening : Give a brief overview of what the presentation is about.

Elaborate : Follow it up with the main points of the topic you’re talking about. Divide this into numbered points to give the presentation structure.

End : Finish off with a short summary and conclude concisely.

Pronounce. Your. Words. Properly

We know you’re nervous and probably want to get the presentation over with as fast as possible, but resist the temptation to talk too fast. Take a deep breath and speak clearly. You don’t want to be constantly interrupted by the panel asking what on earth you’re saying.

Be visual

If someone did nothing but talk at you for an hour, chances are you’d soon start daydreaming out of sheer boredom, so keep the interviewer’s attention by being as visual as possible.
Why not try the following?

• Give out hand-outs of your presentation for them to read
• Have open body language
• Don’t be afraid to gesture
• Use a nifty PowerPoint presentation

Keeping eye contact

Nobody likes being ignored and if this was a face-to-face interview you’d make sure your body language was perfect and that you maintained eye contact throughout to keep the interviewer’s attention.
This doesn’t change just because you’re doing a presentation; in fact, it’s more important in this scenario to keep shifting eye contact to make sure you keep everyone engaged with what you're saying…

Prepare for questions

Just because you’re doing a presentation, don’t think that you’ve cleverly avoided the interviewer’s questions. Chances are they’ll ask about you AND your presentation so be prepared and make sure you know your presentation inside out and back to front.

Interview research

Interviews will never be a nerves-free experience, even for those of us confident about getting the job. Selling your ability to do a job to a complete stranger will always be a bit daunting and there’s no getting around that. However, by making sure you’re fully prepared before you go, you will help to calm your fears.

We explain why pre-interview research is so important.

Where do I begin?

The majority of common interview questions, and even difficult interview questions, will focus on two main areas:

• Your understanding of what the job actually is.
• Whether you can actually do the job – and do it well.

To convince an interviewer that you’re the person for the job you need to show them that you understand these two things.

So, the job ad

Lots of people forget about the job ad after they've written their CV and cover letter, but this is a big mistake. The job description will include all of the information about what the company is looking for in an employee, and you should make sure you've read it, read it and read it again. They WILL ask you questions based on this.
Write a ‘cheat sheet’ of all the ways that your CV matches the role requirements and memorise it before you go. Job interview preparation can mean the difference between success and failure.

Research the company

Interviewers like it when you can show that you know a bit about the company you want to work for. Knowing nothing at all can really harm your chances.
We’re lucky these days as almost every company has its own website where they tell you about their services, their employees, their history and their business. There are also a lot of official social media company sites with extra information. Make sure you know about how the company is structured and where the job sits within it. A little bit of history and what the company is like to work in (and how you’d fit) is a bonus.

Google the interviewer

'To Google' is now a verb in the dictionary and it’s easy to see why. Everyone Googles everyone these days and there’s nothing to stop you looking into the background of your interviewer – if you have been given a name. Just stop short of actual stalking!
LinkedIn profiles are probably the best way of learning about their work history and getting an idea about what kind of person they are. It’s even better if they have a blog. And don't forget, you can Google the interviewer but the interviewer can also Google you. Be sure to check your social media 'footprint' and change privacy settings as necessary!

Difficult interview questions

Lots of people go into interviews thinking that they can just ‘wing it’; after all, there are so many potential questions that an interviewer can ask it’s almost impossible to predict, right? Wrong! .

Sure, some questions are always going to be a surprise but most questions, including difficult questions, can be prepared for. We tackle some toughies for you, here…

So, tell us about yourself

Often an interview opener – this is a question and trips most people up. It’s mainly used as an ice breaker to get the conversation flowing but don’t make the mistake of rambling. Instead, take your CV with you and pick out some career highlights. If this is your first job then explain how life experiences have made you suitable for the position. Do NOT spend more than 5 minutes talking!

Why do you want THIS job?

Hmm, a tricky one. You need to be honest but not TOO honest if the reason is your boss is a nightmare and you hate your colleagues. Instead, talk about the positives of the job ad – what made it jump out at you and think ‘yeah, I’d be good at that!’ This is your chance to explain!

What did you dislike about your last job?

Again, avoid negativity. Moan about past employers and you’ll quickly be shown the door. Instead, talk about the frustrations of your last role that THIS job could fix and always ALWAYS start with a positive. E.g. ‘I have really enjoyed my current job and I’ve learnt a lot and grown as a person. However, I disliked that there was no opportunity for promotion and I know that I’m ready to take the next step with my career.’

How do you respond to criticism?

Don’t say: ‘I do NOT like people criticising me!’
DO say: ‘I welcome constructive criticism as it helps me to learn and get better at my job. Nobody is perfect but I always make sure that if I make a mistake, it’s the first and last time’.

What are you most proud of in your working life?

This can be a puzzler! Go to the interview prepared with a few examples of your successes and, if possible, use examples to back it up. E.g. ‘I worked really hard to set up a new filing system and won a prize for innovation at our Employee Awards. The new system had saved the admin team 10 hours a week in wasted resource.’

What are your weaknesses?

Yup, this one almost ALWAYS comes up! Don’t ever give a negative – stroppy, always late, violent are all no-nos! Also try to avoid the obvious ‘I’m a perfectionist’ as it’s a common answer. Stand out from the crowd and expand on your answer, turning a negative into a positive e.g. ‘I sometimes take mistakes too much to heart.

How do you respond to stress and pressure?

An employer wants to know what you will actually be like in a busy place and how reliable and calm you will be when things go wrong. Give examples of times when you have met difficult deadlines or handled tricky people.

Why you?

This is often a closing question and gives you the chance to stand out… Talk about your experience and skills but also about YOU as a person – your attitude and interests and why you’re uniquely suited to the job.

Common interview questions

                Job interviews can be a daunting, scary experience but you can ditch the nerves by preparing answers to popular interview questions before you head out the door.

We take a look at the different types of interview question you can expect to get and offer you advice on how to go about giving answers that will get you the job.

So, it’s interview preparation time. Feeling a bit overwhelmed by everything you have to do? Don’t panic! Take a breath and relax! We've broken it all down for you so it's easier to digest...

Interview questions fall into four main categories:

• Questions about you
• Questions about your work experience and knowledge
• Questions about why you want THIS job
• Competency-based questions

Interview questions about you

What? These are usually the opening questions – but you can expect ‘you based’ questions to crop up throughout your interview, especially if it’s a first interview.
Why? These questions are designed just to find out a bit more about you: your personality, your experience, your knowledge and, of course, your personality. After all, nobody wants to work with someone who they won’t get on with. It’s as important as your experience. You must market yourself!

Interview questions about your work experience and knowledge

What? This is where it gets a bit more involved as the interviewer tries to find out more about you. These usually form the bulk of any first job interview. Second job interviews are slightly different…
Why? These are designed to dig a little deeper and find out if you have the skills needed to actually DO the job. Is your work experience a good fit? Do you have the right knowledge to fit right in or will they need to train you?

Interview questions about why you want THIS job

What? Great, so they must like you to be asking you these questions. They want to know if YOU like THEM. A good sign!
Why? These questions are designed to see if you’re serious about this job; after all, there’s nothing worse to an employer than having to re-advertise a job because the person they offered it to has got cold feet!

Competency-based interview questions

What? Uh-oh! Here come the tricky questions. These are the ones that will get you really thinking.
Why? These questions are designed to see if you can back up what you’ve been saying. Often used in second interviews, they want you to explain how you’d handle different work situations, using examples from your past experience.
