probation service job

Can anybody help me, I have to give a presentation titled: A practical example of the steps I took to solve a specific problem.

I don't know what sort of example to give, and if I should use a flipchart or a overhead projector. The presentation has to last ten minutes and is two weeks today. I would be very grateful if anybody could give me some ideas.

I would do it in this order

Powerpoint
OH Projector
Flipchart

Will they provide the equipment?

If you have 2 weeks to go practise now and you'll be confident of delivering on the day.

Hi,

I've also got this presentation and I think the first thing to say is don't panic!

I have spoken to so many people about what to do for this and I've got a few ideas.

How to re-wire a plug coz the fuse blew when you were alone
How to pot a plant as a present
Learning to drive-how much, when, who...what then?
getting to work on time-why late etc etc
An argument with someone in a bar or club-how diffused
late submissions of work at uni
etc etc

obviously tailor this to something specific thats happened to you but I'm probably gonna tackle it this way:

Identify the problem and spell it out in one simple sentence
What are the possible causes-list them-explain them
what are the possible solutions - list them - explain them in terms of pro's and con's is probably best
whats the most likely cause and best solution
Make a plan of how you might implement this solution
How will you monitor how good this solution is
BE REFLECTIVE- say future problems with this etc

I know a couple of people who have done this presentation already and all they say is keep it simple coz 10 minutes isn't really that long, and the 'panel' just wanna hear something inventive and in some ways its more about how you tackle the problem rather than what the problem is...

I wish everyone the best of luck (unless you're up against me...and then I don't)!

GOOD LUCK
