Default really need any advice you got

I’ve applied for a job that I'm extremely eager to get, working in financial advising.

Now I’ve passed the interview and been called back along with 2 other candidates to give a presentation to the owner of the business.

What I need help with is advice, tips and pointers really with PowerPoint, haven’t used it for 6 years!!!!

I haven’t got the experience to match the other 2 candidates, but I’m young and eager so really need to shine in this presentation so any help GREATFULLY received.

What is your presentation going to be on?
I know when my sister is due to do presentations - she practises to the mirror - may sound sad - but I guess it works for some

Well there's my first hurdle - I've never used Powerpoint and wouldn't know how to either - my previous jobs I always managed to wing it and never actually have to use it and presentations weren't part of my job spec either as such.
Good luck - sorry I'm not more use!

Well I got to Tuesday, kind of put the structure of it together, just got to fill in the details.

Oh and remeber how to animate it all, passed exams in at school, now can hardly use it

Thanks for the mirror tip, could well be me over the weekend.

The only downsize to the job is I may have to sell the Scoob buy a diesel, but if it works out Il have the money by the end of the year to go buy a better one

Good luck fella

After it's all done you can tell me what a power point is

Thought something you plugged appliances into

All the best for tommorow
