    Hi,

    I have a interview coming up for office work and was asked to prepare a presentation why I want to work for the company and why I want the role for 5 minutes.
    Do you think I just have to talk about the company and how I suit the role?
    Like would I have to do powerpoint and all that for 5 minutes?

    I'm not too sure about the presentation piece, my guess would be to talk about it for 5 minutes rather than presenting slides.
    But what they expect is pretty clear. They want to know why you want to work for this particular company and why you want this particular role. They want you to convince them that you want THIS job and not A job.

    I would suggest having a short (5 slide) presentation on a USB stick and also print out a couple of copies (bind if possible).

    Slide 1 is about the company, some keywords on which you can expand on.
    Slide 2 is about the position - what are the key KPI's etc
    Slide 3 is about you - how great are you?
    Slide 4 is about the you in the role - how will you deliver the needs of the business
    Slide 4 is Any Questions?

    The key to a good presentation is avoid flashy gimmicks like ripple effects etc

    Just get the key words on screen to discuss further. Your not writing a novel!
