I need to do a presentation for a job interview. What should the subject be?

Answer 1

The topic is nearly irrelevant. You need to show-off your computer skills and put together one excellent power-point presentation.

Answer 2

I need a little more to go on. Is this an interview to be a teacher??? If so, what grade level? If it is an interview for a teaching position, you could do a presentation on different ways to incorporate the different learning styles in your classroom, how you can make lesson plans that reach out to many cultures, and well...the list could go on and on. The two topics I gave you could be interesting. For the learning styles you could find (on-line) quizes that tell you what learning style you are. You could explain to your audience that in the first week of class you will have your students complete the quiz so that you can better serve them. Then do some research or some creative thinking about activities or lessons that reach out to all or most of the learning styles. For the cultural topic, explain that maybe.....each month is a different country that will be covered in addition to the curriculum. You can learn about customs, food, and if there are any students in the class that are of those countries studied, they might enjoy talking about their culture. Also, as any holidays pass that are important in other cultures, your class could observe them. Such as: Sept. 16 Mex Ind./ Dec 12 Virgen of Guadalupe/ Kwanza/Hanakuh/Chinese New Year, etc

Answer 3

Since this is under teaching, I would assume your audience would know a lot about kids and education and expect you to as well.... you probably want to wow them, right?

Know your subject thoroughly so that you can not only present, but be prepared to answer questions about the topic. One I think is really important to Education, but IS highly debated is No Child Left Behind and its Benefits. Or maybe a presentation on the Utilizing School Dollars in the Classroom Today... remember this is like a research paper, but bigger and you are selling yourself too. Tell them, tell them what you told them and then close with telling them again....

I am in sales and this works to put you in the forefront of your peers because people often just spill out so many points you forget what their topic was even about.

Good luck- I hope you get it!!

Answer 4

It's hard to say as I would have assumed that they gave you a topic.

If not, do a presentation on the industry the company represents. Include information about where they are (research needed through their website and financial reports), their competitors and where the industry is going. As well information about how to help the company get there.

Answer 5

I'm assuming this is a teaching position and they want you to model a lesson??

If so, make it hands on - keep them busy. Examples: (1) Make butter from cream while explaining the chemical process behind the butter formation. Let them shake the cream to make the butter while you're talking. At the end provide them with crackers to taste the butter they made. (2) Explain a color wheel while your audience designs one.
