    Hey guys,
    I have a job interview coming up where I am asked to prepare a 3 - 4 minute presentation on a topic of my choice, the thing is I have never done a presentation before and I'm having trouble putting one together :(

    Has anyone got any advice or tips? Anything given is greatly appreciated, cheers.

    Go in there with nothing to lose because they dont mark you what you say - its about how you say it so be 100 confident!!! you may just have to do it on you own which then you'll have to chat about your topic, if its a group interview (up to 6 people) then you'll have to talk about the person beside you like why the person is good for the job!

    You can choose any topic too - so if you like metal gear solid, then talk about that - if you like Man united talk about that, like why you like them, favourite player, favourite match, a time you cried -

    So again its not about what you say - It about how you say it.

    And unlike normal interviews where you have to be professional this is about being yourself so be relaxed - they hire all sorts as long as you're a CONFIDENT person!


    PS. They like funny people so maybe joke a little too!
    PPS. Get prepared for being called a chugger daily if you get the job!
