🚀 Part 2 of how to prepare for your interview presentation... Presenting & handling the unexpected 💡 📢 Nailed your prep? Now it’s time to deliver. Even the best-prepared presentations can go off track, nerves, tech issues, or tricky questions can throw anyone. Here are some ways to keep control on the day: 👉 Speak clearly, make eye contact, and don’t just read off your slides. 👉 Control your pace — breathe, and avoid rushing. 👉 Practise with friends or family to build confidence. 👉 Arrive early to set up and get comfortable with the equipment. 👉 Time yourself — aim for around 10 minutes unless told otherwise. And if things don’t go to plan? Tech issues: Always have backups (USB, email, or handouts). Mind goes blank: Pause, sip water, glance at your notes, then pick up again. Tough questions: Stay calm, ask for clarification if needed, and be honest if you don’t have the full answer, but offer to follow up. 🎯 Remember: Interviewers aren’t just assessing your content, but also how you react under pressure. 💬 How do you keep calm when presenting under pressure?

🚀 Hiring isn’t just about what’s on a CV. To spot real potential, you need to look beyond traditional experience.

By integrating these techniques, you get a holistic view of a candidate’s capability for long-term growth and impact 🚀 💬 Want to level up your hiring strategy?

🚀 Job interview presentations are becoming the norm, but how do you make yours stand out for all the right reasons? 💡 Whether you’re asked to present research, a business plan, or even yourself, the way you deliver it can make all the difference. Many candidates find presentations intimidating, but with the right approach, they can be your chance to shine. 👉 Here are some things to keep in mind when preparing: ⭐️ Start with the job description — tailor your presentation to the skills and traits the employer is looking for. ⭐️ Keep it focused — no more than 10 slides, short and clear. ⭐️ Make it engaging — use visuals, stats, or quotes to back up your points. ⭐️ Stay on brand — reflect the company’s style in your slides. ⭐️ Proofread everything — small errors can distract from great content. 💡 Pro tip: Practise your presentation until you’re comfortable enough to deliver confidently, but adaptable if questions or challenges come up. 🔗 Part 2 coming soon: Top tips for presenting on the day and what to do if things go wrong. #WeAreTDA #CareerTips #InterviewSuccess
