HI,
I have a second round interview with a company that I really to work for,Next Week..

As Part of the Interview I have to do a presentation and one of the questions goes a bit like this,

"In your career to date give one example of how you identified and developed a successful business relationship.. Discuss how this was achieved"

Do I,

(A) Give an almost Essay like example for this

OR

(B) Give a brief summary and use as much figures as I can?

Any help would be great..

I am personally leaning towards (B)

But what do you think?

I am allowed to use Powerpoint or Handouts (Either is acceptable!) Will probably bring both..

identify the way you did such an example, how you did it, what you learned from it and how you could apply it to new role

my recommendation would be tailor it to your style of presenting as much as possible.
without knowing a whole lot about what your applying for, this is probably what i would do....

no handouts, no one looks at them.
one extremley nice powerpoint slide with 5 or 6 bullet points.
these bullet points should cover the headings for your presentation.

for example
main title - building a relationship
sub 1 - introudcutions / build the rapport
sub 2 - identify the needs of the clinet
sub 3 - meet the needs
sub 4 - repeat step 2+3 while keeping customer happy
sub 5 - profit


using these headings i would give the structure of what i see as the best way to build the relationship, all the while giving my case study / stroy and tying it in to a well structured and almost methodical seeming approach.

the main thing to consider is that people dont want to be hear you read out what is displyed on screen.
by all means have an a4 pad full of notes, but dont put any text on the screen other than general headings.
1, people can read ahead and then decide they arent going to listen to you ,and 2 if you do get say something that the interviewer doesnt like, you can always put it in context or give a dencet example of what you mean, if something they dont like is in foot high letters on screen that will stick in their mind.
