How do you handle time management when you're presenting?
Effective time management will ensure you touch on all essential points, leave time for questions, and have a good pace. Tell the interviewer your process for preparing for a professional presentation. Explain how you cater your presentation to a specific audience and organize the material based on the allotted time.
Offer some effective strategies you use to make a presentation engaging in addition to being punctual. For example: Don't fill the screen with words. Only use essential key phrases and supporting images so that your audience understands the main points of the presentation.
"Strategic partnership meetings are essential in strengthening relationships with some of our most generous financial supporters. When I present program results to our strategic partners, I want them to feel inspired and motivated to continue giving. In addition to providing partners with data that demonstrates the specific ways their funding has been put to good use in the community, I always share client stories that illustrate positive life changes or improvements. I organize these presentations into three, ten-minute parts: Data first, client stories second, and time for questions at the end. Although I am flexible, having this structure helps me to focus on delivering the essential information in a professional manner that is also sensitive to the partner's time."
