"Part of my university training included building presentations in PowerPoint. We learned a bit about creating an effective presentation. I also have some creative abilities, so I like to make sure the visuals are great. In my final project, I received full marks on the design aspect of the presentation. I have it saved on my phone if you are interested in reviewing."

Giving a presentation to clients or your team will likely be a significant part of your role as a business analyst. You may need to gather data, write the presentation, create the visuals, and then deliver it - all on your own. If you have experience designing and giving presentations, discuss with the hiring authority what those topics were on and how well the presentation was received. If you are newer to your career as a business analyst, perhaps you had to create and give a presentation while earning your bachelor's degree. In the best case scenario, you have a sample of a presentation that you are proud of, ready on your tablet or phone to show the interviewer.

"The last presentation that I gave was to a team of administrators after our client incorporated a new software system. We had performed the initial user testing, and we wanted to share the results. I created a highly visual presentation, showing the areas of strength the administration team already displayed. I also touched on areas of improvement and gave a quick training. I believe visuals and interesting content is key to a successful presentation. The feedback was positive, and if you'd like, I can email you a copy of the presentation for review."

I gave a presentation in my last semester comparing two industries and how they play an essential role in our day-to-day life. The use of visual aids, including graphs and charts, helps to give the audience an in-depth understanding of market analysis.
Rachelle's Feedback
Could you jump into more detail? For example, which two industries did you compare - why was the topic of interest to you - how did the presentation go in the end? Any feedback or final grade that you could share with the interviewer?
