DH has an interview for a job in the voluntary sector. It will involve some project management, some supervision of staff/volunteers, liasing with partner agency managers.
Anyway, he has to prepare for 2 hours of interview, IT test and presentation.
Presentation is 10 mins, he is allowed to use a pre-prepared flip chart, and it is a question outlining the benefits of a particular project that he will be working on to 3 set client groups.
He has never done a presentation in his life before. He is very very very nervous, but he does know the subject matter well. I am pointing him in the right direction, but some tips, in particular from those who interview with presentations would be helpful.
I have advised him not to write using green or red pens, not to use capital letters (apart from where grammatically needed), to keep flip pages brief as a visual aid not to say everything he wants. Use it as a focus for the interviewers and for him to elaborate on any points made. I have advised him to use a cue card for his own benefit so he keeps more eye contact with the interviewers and less time turning to the flipchart, also to use post it/tags to mark each flip page.
Other tips please?
