When asked to give a presentation as part of a job interview it’s a good opportunity to showcase your skills especially if giving presentations is actually part of the job. It’s also an area where you could make mistakes if you are not well prepared. 在面試中，如果被要求做一個演講時，是一個表現自己的好機會，尤其是如果這是你所應聘的工作內容的話，當然，如果你沒有好好準備的話，也是你最容易犯錯的地方。
Basic Guidelines For Designing Your Presentation （演講的基本綱領）
1. List and prioritize（分主次） the main goals that you want to accomplish with your presentation（如果希望做一次成功的演講，切記一定要條理清晰，主次分明）.
For Sarah and Daniel these would be to show an interest and understanding in the work that WebWare does and in the position that is being offered i.e. sales director.
2. They also need to demonstrate that they have the particular skills needed for the job（他們也說出自己擁有這份工作所必須的技巧等）.
In the video, Daniel has obviously set the wrong goals for his presentation where he talks mostly about himself and his achievements in a rather egotistical way. In contrast, Sarah shows that she has given some thought to WebWare’s business and how she feels she can improve it in the future.
3. It’s important to set the right tone for the presentation（演講時的語氣也相當重要）.
Daniel’s presentation was more of a performance as he strode around confidently, gesticulating and even attempting to play a song on his harmonica. He was far too casual and the tone he set was not one of professionalism.
In contrast, Sarah appeared relaxed, well-prepared, serious and business-like.
4. Allow time for questions and answers at the end（在演講結束時，要給面試官提問的時間）.
Sarah asked the interviewers if they had any questions, whilst Daniel merely asked if he had got the job!
5. If you're speaking to a small group then try to accomplish eye contact with each person for a few seconds throughout your delivery（如果面試官是一組人，記住眼神的交流）.
Don’t look at your materials or notes all the time.
6. Speak a little bit louder and a little bit slower than you normally would do with a friend（演講時語速慢一點，就當作是和自己的一個朋友一樣）.
A good way to practice these guidelines is to speak along with a news anchor when you're watching television. Also try to vary the volume and rate of your speech. A monotone voice will send your audience to sleep!
