Work Out the Structure
After you have devised the presentation plan, it is time to concentrate on its structure. The basic structure that works for all kinds of presentations is the introduction, core, and summary structure. It is necessary to give a precise introduction regarding the topic that is being presented. The core should highlight the key points about the topic, and then do the summary, which is nothing but the conclusion.
Focus on Illustrations
It is always advisable to include illustrations in your presentation, as they give a clearer picture about the facts that are being presented. Ensure that you show more slides with images, than those with only textual content, as image slides would aid you in communicating directly to the audience in a better way, whereas text slides would make you look diffident about what you want to present.
Keep the Content Precise
It is very important to keep the content of the presentation very precise. There are three main points that you need to focus on:
a. Key words
b. New ideas
c. USP
Identify the key words that you need to focus on and prepare the presentation on those lines. After the key words, the second point that the presentation needs to highlight is your knowledge and creativity. The employers are always in search of employees who are full of new ideas. This helps the firm in more than one ways.
Next, never forget to emphasize on your USP, i.e. what makes you different from your competitors. Explain the distinguishing points in a diplomatic manner to the interviewer. Remember, these are the points that might get you the job!
Don't Overdo
In the process of trying to highlight too many things through your presentation, you might end up doing a bit too much. It is necessary to make sure that you do not include too many slides for the given time. Five slides are recommended for a ten-minute presentation. Too many slides, and the presentation will have to be rushed through, and will cause confusion in the minds of the audience.
Look Out for Options
You may have the option of utilizing audio-visual aids, like a whiteboard or flip chart, to detail on your topic of presentation. If the company provides you with the essential equipment, well and good, otherwise it is always better to get your own stuff.
