Interview - 5 min presentation - no slides....
Discussion
Some of you may have read my recent plight http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
I have managed to secure an interview on Monday for a contracting post back in the company i left in November. They have asked me to prepare a 5 min presentation without slides on the 'key attributes i can bring to company xxxx'. I really want to get this postion and need to make an impact.
I was thinking about a play on words and wrtiting the skills i can bring....such as:
Possessing the gift of foresight
Being organized.
Knowing how to lead.
Good communicators.
Being pragmatic.
Being empathetic.
I was thinking of talking about my skills around these areas and writing each word on a pad of paper, but cleverly aligning the words above each other so another word is spelt downwards - rather like a crossword. I could make a big point of that at the end of my presention.
What word though - i thought about my name - but that could be very cheesy!
Any ideas? The skills listed above can be changed if other letters are needed.

If you left the company in November, and now you're trying to get back in, don't tell them you posess the gift of foresight.
Having worked there before, you could always consider the things you didn't like, and highlight the ways in which you can bring a different approach. Point out how you can improve what's currently being done without specifically telling them they're doing it wrong.
Good point well made Doofus! Foresight - perhaps not......Having worked there before, you could always consider the things you didn't like, and highlight the ways in which you can bring a different approach.

Thanks all.
I have just been notified that I did not get the position.
The 5 min presentation went really well and I was shocked that I hit the 5 min on the button, with, "Any questions, please"?
I thought it went really well, but I have had the feedback literally 5 mins ago that I did not get it. I have asked for some further feedback, so i can try to improve for next time.
I have a couple of days off from my horrible current workplace, but am giving up all hope.
