Hey folks,

 

I have an interview soon and have been asked to prepare a 10 minute powerpoint about the role and how I'd fit in.  

There's no IT available at the venue so it's going to be printed handouts.

I've kept things simple so far (black text on a plain white slide) but wondered about a 'subtle' pale blue at the top to white at the bottom gradient.

 

Your thoughts?  In my view it's subtle enough not to look unprofessional but makes the handouts look less bland.  And it's all about 'sticking out' (but not too much!) isn't it?

I find simple, clear and concise is best. You do want to stick out and be remembered for your great presentation (not over bright slides). When you have left the room you want your presentation to stick in their minds.

Chop the same corner off each slide - looks professional and is subtly different. 

Try a different size paper, or light card

Make sure your presentation has the three classic parts - tell them what you are going to say, say it, then tell them what you said. 

Hope this helps
