Need to do a presentation for interview

Posting here for traffic. I’m not a technical whizz and need to do a presentation for an interview.
Can someone tell me what’s the best site to find to do slides on?
How do I access it?
Panicking slightly!
Thanks so much!

PowerPoint ?

Dies it have to be on a laptop/PC?

Interviewed someone last year who did a presentation centered around a board with drawings and text on, which she talked through. The board was A2 size. She'd made it so it had a support to stand up by itself like a freestanding picture frame.

You could also do a presentation on Sway (I’ve never used it, but have seen presentations made with it at work, and they always look professional). I agree with the previous poster that PowerPoint is a good place to start with though - easy to use and they have loads of presentation templates you can use.

PowerPoint if you have it, otherwise Google slides is fine and free - and many businesses use it at enterprise level

You access it via a browser so no software required

how long is the presentation?
do you really need visual aids?
worked at one organisation where we used to inwardly groan and talk about death by PowerPoint.
And seen many interview presentations where the interviewee got tied up in the tech.

If you do create slides, print a 'hand out' for yourself - or just a word doc of your main points as an aide memoire to yourself (don't write the whole thing verbatim), and offer it to the panel after the presentation. Just be confident you can give the presentation if the slides aren't available for any reason.
Do they want to see you display your knowledge and confidence presenting, or your ability to create slides>

Thank you! I will try google slides. For some reason I can’t get PowerPoint on my laptop

Prezi is easy to use. Much more professional looking than PowerPoint or Google slides.

Canva and Prezi are much much nicer than PowerPoint.

Thank you so much. Will have a look at Prezi- would never have heard of that!
