Creative end of job interview presentation ideas?

Question

I've been interning for the past 3 months learning about technical sales, and now I need to present what I've done, and leave my audience (big wigs within the company) with something extra to remember me by. The suggested medium is of course, powerpoint, but I hate powerpoint. It's so blah.

Any creative presentation ideas?

Answer 1

Pen and ink are blah, too. Yet some people do amazing things with those tools.

If you are boring and create dull, unimaginative powerpoints you will make the wrong kind of impression.

It's not the tools - it's what you have to say and how you say it. You're right on track by focusing on the audience. Deliver to them the message you wish to convey in personality, appearance, and creative skill (don't go overboard with animations, wild backgrounds and transitions, but don't use just plain text, either).

Creative Interview Presentation Ideas

Answer 3

i would go with the suggested medium. believe it or not, a simple THANK YOU for the job, I've learned a lot and enjoyed being here , will go a long way. Be sure to leave a quick voice mail for some of the big wigs , last day. do not take a lot of time, just say , so / so and wanted to say thank you. thank you is something people never get tired of hearing since most people do not feel the need to say it.

Answer 4

I say go with the power point, and force yourself to make it non-blah, believe me your description of it right now, is most likely do to lack of usage of it, because you are getting chance to leave a visual/immaginative and interesting impression.
Then afterwards, do not hesitate to leave very nice, professional looking, thank you cards to each of the big wigs, mail to their office. Your powerpoint will be as blah/creative as you make it. Get help if you have to from someone who knows the big wigs and/or power point

Answer 5

I have two recommendations for you (as a Senior HR Specialist who has sat through many sales/marketing presentations at interviews). 1. If you have done a similar role in the past, do your presentation on the market analysis you have conducted in the past. This will demonstrate to the employer that you have the skills they are looking for. 2. If you have not done this role in the past, then do some research on the relevant market and channels, and focus your presentation on that. This will show the employer that you have the research skills they are looking for and understand their market. You probably want to focus on things like identifying the most profitable channels, sell-in and sell-through opportunities, etc. Remember, all the audience really wants to see is what can you do that is relevant for the role you are applying for. If you do a SWOT analysis on the company you are applying for, you haven't really shown that you understand their marketplace, which is what the role is about. Good luck!

Answer 6

Go overboard.....I am not sure what you are working for so can't give exact information.

There was a soap co. looking for market research and know what are consumers are buying so instead of while giving presentation presenter didn't show on power point he used different soaps and mentioned on them statistics so they can actually feel commodity and they could also see statistics in fun manner.

People do better when they get too touch ,feel and sense what you are telling them.They remember it.

Answer 7

If you are working for a very conservative company, i would stick with power point..... I hate to say.

if you are working for a more "creative" company, then i would think outside the box....

What does your company do? Think about this as your prepare your presentation... see if you can tie it in somehow!

Answer 9

Stripping would probably leave a lasting impression.
