Having to deliver a presentation without being told subject matter until 40 minutes b

[Anonymous]

Please help me. I have only just found your site after having looked for something like this all week.

Interview tomorrow at 9.30am, starts with a presentation, a subject will be given to me – I will have forty minutes to prepare and 20 minutes to deliver.

I am led to believe by colleagues that it could be really weird ie how to bake a cake/knitting etc – I work in a Bank in Risk Operations and am not sure how to deliver a presentation on a subject that I may know little about.

Has any idea what potential sunjects might be?

The subject could be almost anything. The only real piece of advice that I can think of is to practice on a random topic. Take the same amount of time to prepare as well as to deliver. This way you will be mentally better prepared for the morning.

There are a number of possible topics at
