Can you use powerpoint? I always think that looks impressive. I can use it so if you get stuck and need a hand with it, you can PM me.

Good luck!

I agree, Powerpoint looks really professional and shows you have IT skills. Failling that then a flipchart with points etc. If you dont know about something dont try to tak about it, stick to what you know and your confidence will shine through. If you're trying to talk about something you dont know too much about you'll falter.

Do you know what you'll be asked beforehand? They'll more than likely ask you how would you deal with a failing team member or something along those lines, how to motivate staff, team building, disciplining, planning etc. Ask a supervisor questions on how they work and their role.

One thing I swear by is wearing something distinctive but subtle. If they've interviewed 20 people that day they'll remember you. Something like a distinctive brooch, thats how I remember people when I meet them, I look for something distinctive and associate them with it, wont get you the job but they'll remember who you are

I would definatley use powerpoint hun, I had to give a presentation in my job interview and I was the only one who used powerpoint and they said afterwards (when I was appointed) that it helped me to get the job. Good luck!!

Hi Kim

Like the others have said I would use Powerpoint or similar package to create a wee slide show.

I would include details of motivation and team building ideas you might have as well.
