presentation topic advice
I have a third interview on Monday and have to give a presentation on myself or technology training. I have 10-15 minutes. WWYD?
Obviously the safe one is on myself and I'd like to do technology. Inserting a picture/video into a powerpoint? I've trained folks on excel, PP, and word...what's a trick you've learned you like to share? Give me some more ideas!

Re: presentation topic advice
tell me more about the job- what type of technology would this job require? Educational?
I'd stray away from any of the office tools- the truth is 99% of the job market has these skills- you really want to stand out.
The last technology training I went to was using the Flip video camera to record social stories for children with Autism. If you can relate the Flip to anything for this job it is a quick train.
I could stand to know a lot more about the standard Microsoft things, but I would imagine that most people in an office already have a good handle on them.
When I did my interview for my current job (that used to be much more training focused) I also had to do a 15 minute training on something I wanted to. I was also considering doing some sort of technology training, but it just didn't speak to me and while I knew my stuff, it was boring.
So instead I lugged in a bunch of handbells and equipment and did a presentation/ training on it. And I knocked it out of the park- I left the room and they had made up their mind. Now I'm not saying it was just the presentation (maybe everyone else sucked!) but I know they both told me afterwards that they were really impressed by it.
My point is that I went with something I know a lot about, am passionate about, and was distinct and fun. For me it was all about finding something new and making it as exciting and interesting as possible. I mean, you know you have to make it like a real training, but making it something you are really into is going to really translate your enthusiasm.
Why not talk about how to make a reusable sandwich bag and show off some other eco-friendly products like dryer balls and cloth diapers? Or maybe how to tour Vermont? You could even do all about cloth diapers or food or how to train for a 5K...
Tim suggested I do my reusable bags as well! You can't say it won't lack passion :-)
