Job Interview advice

[(Anonymous)]

I have a job interview tomorrow for a university tour guide position (I actually posted on here about it a few weeks back, I was the freakishly depressed anon, but I sucked it up and applied for the job), and I was told that part of the interview is giving an informal presentation, basically a persuasive thing on why people should come to my specific school for my major. A couple questions:

1. Just in general, do people have tips on informal presentations? I have a lot of experience giving formal presentations (I used to do a lot of debate), but I don't want to come across as too stiff or formal here.
2. How formally do you think I should dress? I usually wear a pencil skirt and blouse to interviews (which usually goes over well) but I am worried since the presentation is informal, they are expecting me to dress informally to. Would overdressing hurt my chances? If yes, what are good informal interview clothes?

I always do bullet points of the main points I want to make so that way I know what topics I want to cover and run less of a risk of going into something I'm not as prepared to talk about. And I practice a lot. I realize that seems counter intuitive, but the point is to be really familiar with your topic so that you can be informal about it.

For informal interview clothes, maybe work/dress pants and a cardigan?

Informal presentations are a lot like speed dating: keep it snappy, don't dress up too much (but don't look schlubby), smile a lot.

Basically you can just write down a few points and wing it if you're comfortable enough. It's acceptable to crack a few jokes and go for audience participation points to be more engaging, as well. Think more of a youtube video than a TED talk.

1. Make a list of points beforehand; really think through why people should come to your school for your major. Talk through it to yourself several times, and make it sound natural. Don't give yourself a script to memorize, though: the idea is just to think through the question and give a thoughtful, informed answer.

2. Business casual, probably. Always opt for the more formal option if you're picking clothes for a job interview. Pencil skirt and blouse sounds great!

I think it would be a good idea to avoid reading a script and be able to look like you're just talking about it off the cuff in a conversational manner. Presentations and lectures like that are always more interesting and engaging to me, regardless of how formal they are supposed to be, and it's the kind of presenting you're likely to give when leading a tour. As the other Anon said, however, you need to organize your thoughts well and practice a lot ahead of time so you can speak confidently and the information comes out smoothly.

I don't think a blouse and a pencil skirt would be overdressing necessarily, but if you would not be dressing that way when giving tours, you might try for a slightly dressier version of how you would dress to give a tour. Just make sure everything is clean and neat.
