Job interview- partner says my presentation is shit

I need mumsnet wisdom.
I have a job interview on Friday. I would like the job but not desperately as I like my current job but it would be a payrise and I like the look of the company.
I had to create a presentation of my skills prior to the interview. I spent a good deal of time on it. I have not done this for an interview before. I rehersed it in front of my partner tonight. He said it was shit and awful! That theres no theme or anything that stands out about it! Having looked again, he's probably right. PowerPoint isn't my strong point. Theres plenty of information and supporting data but it may not look the part.
The problem is, I've already emailed it to the recruiter as we were instructed to do in advance.
I'm gutted and thinking of pulling out of the interview as I wont be able to stop thinking my presentation 'Is shit'.
Should I pull out or go ahead?
YABU - Go to interview
YANBU- Do not go

Please be honest but not brutally so as I'm in tears at the moment.

Thanks, just done that.
I'm so annoyed with myself, they said they would ring today and I've been glued to my phone since 8am, the moment I leave it for a second they call!
I'm hoping not answering doesn't mean I have blown it now.

Always the way! Well done OP, got everything crossed for you Flowers

I've had a call back.

I didn't get it 😪
Apparently it was very close, but the successful candidate gave a better reply on one question.
Sad but hey ho.
Thanks to everyone who supported me on this thread x

Ahhhh but a huge well done to you, and on to the next!

It was very close 👏 Take that as a win and on to the next one. Best of luck (and run any ideas / presentations past someone else who will give you feedback that isn’t undermining!)

You did it, and you were a strong contender! That's a good result as well. Onwards and upwards!

@Greenginghamdress my friend has been applying for jobs online. One she went for showed 400 people had also applied. You came second out of gawd knows how many. That's a win in my book! Feel proud and keep going 👏🏻

Op you need to deal with your partner now. Without mincing my words he’s a complete cunt. He used this as a way to bring you down, to attack you. To destroy your confidence. He didn’t want you to get the job. He was jealous of the thought of you succeeding,

only you know why you are with such a man. But honestly it’s unlikely you’ll Move ahead whilst he’s pulling you down. A decent person, even one who barely knew you would have said this is the improvements to make.

when someone who is closer than that uses the opportunity to attack you need to ask yourself wtf you’re doing with someone like this.
