How to give a presentation with little time to prepare

[MichaelKDuggan]

Hi Carl, I've got a job interview on Thursday and have been told that I have to do a 10 Minute product presentation for a product the company is giving me, but do not know what the product will be till the day of the interview. Do you have any tips how I could prepare myself for this? Many thanks

@MichaelKDuggan Hi Michael! Is the product going to be from the company? If so, you can probably do a bit of homework. Even if it's not, I'd think in terms of the Rule of Three plus the stuff I teach in this video. The Rule of Three is thinking of only 3 things to talk about. So, if it's a product, think about 3 benefits or 3 problems/challenges it helps to overcome. Present each with examples of the benefits. Briefly summarize each of the 3 before moving on, then summarize again at the end.

@MichaelKDuggan The intro can be the big overall problem/challenge and how you'll break that down into the 3 problems/challenges. Be sure to think about the customer that'll use the product. That'll help you come up with the 3 problems/challenges. Present like you're talking to the customer. Good luck! Let me know how it goes or if you have any other questions.
