What do i do with my hands during a Speech or Presentation?Joseph Prabhakar
One of the toughest acts during a presentation or speech; where do I keep my hands. Hand positions could be the most awkward thing for any speaker or presenter. Learning to master hand positions can show class, finesse and experience of one's speaking or presenting ability. Expert speakers use hands with purpose and style. They convey confidence and control by appropriate positioning of their hands.

1. Preparation, Presentation, and Performance.
THE 3 P's
Remit Resources is dedicated to providing the best quality recruitment and
resourcing solutions for our clients, and finding career enhancing opportunities
for our candidates.
2. So many people—in fact, the vast majority—do not prepare for interviews.
When I say the “vast majority”, I mean 80% of all people who go along for
an interview have not thoroughly prepared for it. If you don't prepare, you
may as well not go along - there's absolutely no point in turning up in the
first place because you will not get the job.
So, when you get the interview, prepare properly for it! It's the very, very
first thing you really must do. If 80% of the people who go for an interview
haven't prepared, then simply by preparing thoroughly you automatically
find yourself in the 20% who have a chance of getting the job. The other
80% haven't got a hope in hell. See how important it is to prepare?
Preparation

and Performance.
3. When I'm debriefing candidates after interviews, and I ask them if they've
prepared, they always say “yes”. But when I talk to the interviewer, the
interviewer will always tell me that they weren't prepared. Strange? How
does this happen? What this means is that it's not that people can't be
bothered to prepare, or think they don't need to prepare - they just don't
know how to. If you know how to prepare, and you do prepare, then you've
got a great chance of getting the job.
So, just how do you prepare for an interview? Let's look at the sorts of
things you've got to do to get yourself ready for the interview to give
yourself the best chance of getting the job.
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
4. Do your research! The first thing you need to do when you're preparing for
the interview is to think about the questions you might be asked. You can't
control the questions that you will be asked but you can still prepare for
those questions.
Bear in mind that the first few questions in an interview are “warm-up”
questions; they're intended to help everyone settle in.
How to prepare PROPERLY
for an interview:
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
5. You can always guarantee the first question's going to be, what do you
know about our company? You've got to respond with a concise, intelligent
summary of their business.
So, have a look at the company website. This is a must because this first
question is clear-cut – you will either know the answer, or you will not.
There's no way you'll be able to skirt around the answer without looking
foolish. You've got to be able to look at the website and come up with a
concise summary of what the company does in 30-45 seconds.
The Company's Website
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
6. Companies often put their own news pages on their websites publicising
the things they're proud about. So, as well as looking at the company
website, try to have a look at their news page. What interesting things are
going on there? For example, have they had any new contract wins,
attended any exhibitions, or launched any new products? Go on to Google
and do some Google news searches. Are they in the news at the moment?
If you do see anything interesting either on Google or on the company's
news page, let them know that you've noticed and that you're impressed
with it - again, this shows that you've prepared.
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
7. Use social media to find out
as much background information
and news about the company as you can.
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
8. LinkedIn tells you so much information about any potential company
you're going to: how many people work there, who these people are, the
types of skills they've got; you can see what background the company's
employees have and who else they're connected to. Who's left recently
and who's just joined the company? What does their Facebook page say
about them? What are their offers? What are their customers saying (good
and bad)? What's on YouTube and Twitter about them? Are there different
forums talking about what they do, their new product, and how brilliant it
is?
All of this research on your potential employer will pay off: It shows to the
interviewer that you have anticipated their questions, it shows that you are
interested in the company (that you will enjoy working there), it will help
you to prepare confident and intelligent answers, and it will boost your
own self-confidence.
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
9. Remember the 60 second rule? When the first impression you make is that
of a confident and competent potential employee, you're a long way towards
answering those three questions that you've got to answer to get the job.
As well as being able to recite a 30 second spiel about the company, another
good tip here is to print out a couple of pages from the company's website.
Take those printouts along with you. When you get into the interview and
you open up your folder and you've got a couple of pages of printouts on
the company, the interviewers will automatically think, “Yes, this person has
prepared and is ready to take the interview seriously”. Again, this all helps
make that all important good first impression.
ÜMaking a great first impression!
And what does all this lead to?
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
10. The second question in the interview is almost always going to be, "Tell me a
little bit about yourself." A response to this question along the lines of, "What
would you like to know?" will not work!—it puts the interviewer on the back
foot and will make them feel uncomfortable. Again, have a concise 30-45
seconds introduction as to who you are, why you're there, and what you're
looking for, at the ready. You're giving a 45 second sales pitch on yourself.
Remember: one of the things they want to know is whether they will enjoy
working with you—you need to come across as a friendly, warm person, who
makes them think a little bit.
Prepare and rehearse your pitch
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
11. One of the things that I always say to people when it comes to
interviewing is, there's no point in saying, "don't be nervous when you go
for an interview," because you will be nervous. Just bear in mind that
you're talking about the one subject that you know better than anybody
else in the world - yourself. There is nothing these people can ask you
that you don't know the answer to because you know everything about
yourself. But to give yourself the best chance under pressure, you've got
to prepare properly, you've got to have thought about the types of
questions, and you've got to be ready for those questions.
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
12. If you were interviewing you, what would you ask? What is it about you
that makes you the ideal person for the job? Where can you add value to
this job? Think about these things and bring them into the answers to
your questions. Think about why you would be great at this job and why
they should definitely give you this job. Have the key points in mind that
you want to get over.
Imagine you're interviewing yourself
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
13. Prepare a list of questions that you want to ask the interviewer. What are
great questions? A great question is a question that makes the
interviewer stop and think about the question you've asked and respond
with you in mind. It's great if they say, "No one has asked that before", or
"That's a great question." Think about it, if you ask, "What training is
available?" or "What's the progression in the role?" or "How many days
holiday do I get?" All of these things are about you. The company is
Prepare a list of questions
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
14. looking to solve their problem. Yes, they want you to get the job, which
potentially solves your problem, but they're looking to solve their own
problem. Don't make your questions about you. Make your questions
about them, but make those questions think about you solving their
problems. If we ask these questions which are about you, what's the
perception of someone asking these questions? The perception is it's all
about you, not about them. Is that different? Does it make you stand out?
What do you think everybody else is asking when they go along? They're
asking, "What training is available? What's the progression? How I'm going
to do these things." They're not great questions. Let's look at some real
examples of what types of questions you could ask.
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
15. Great questions have got to be questions that you think about. Again, it's
about thinking for yourself, about being different, and about being a little
bit creative. How about this one, “in six-month's time, looking back on the
role, if you hire me what will I need to have done to be successful?”
Another one, “what's the biggest challenge you face with this role in the
next three months?” Another one, “if I started this job tomorrow, what's
the first thing I would be doing?”
The real, real key to this is to please go away and think about them
yourselves. Think about what questions you're going to ask and think
about the impression that those questions are going to make. This is your
chance to leave a good impression on the hiring manager; the examples
I've given above will make him or her think about you in this role.
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
16. Often, the structure of the interview follows what's on your CV. If it's on the
CV, be prepared to talk about it and be prepared to expand on it. All the
interviewer knows about you is what's on your CV. Lots of us wrote our CV
a long time ago and don't necessarily know or remember what's on there;
lots of us maybe got a little bit of help, whether from a professional CV
writer, our parents, or someone we knew at college. Know what's on your
CV and be prepared to expand on all of those things.
Know your CV!
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
17. Think about three or four scenarios that you've been in and give real
examples of these situations when you're answering a question. These
scenarios can be anything - worked based scenarios, university or college
based scenarios, or perhaps projects that you've worked on in your spare
time. They can be absolutely anything. But think of real examples of
situations, and think about them before the interview. The reason I say this
is that in an interview situation, where you're under pressure, your mind
will go blank if you have not thought of a few scenarios in depth
beforehand. You might even make a note of them on your notepad that
you take with you. The way to think of them is to think about the situation
you've been in, how you dealt with it, and what the outcome was
(obviously, I'm talking about positive outcomes here!)
Think about real life examples – tell a story.
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
18. The preparation techniques we've covered in this section involve a lot of
work, but this applies to any interview you go to so the good news is that
you don't need to go through every single step each time you get an
interview. The questions part of it will certainly be relevant for lots of jobs
you go for. But remember that 80% of the candidates don't prepare at all.
And 95% of people will not have done all of the above. So, it shouldn't be
too difficult to work out that if you do do all of the things I've covered here,
you will stand a pretty good chance of getting the job!
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
19. Okay, research done; answers to questions thought about. You're now
ready for the interview. But how do you present yourself in the interview?
This is a question I often ask people when they are going along for
interviews. I always ask, "What sort of message, what sort of image, are
you trying to put over in this interview?" Invariably the answer is, "I don't
know, I'm just going to go along and try and answer their questions; do
my best." That's good—we do want to be doing our best—but it's
competitive out there. You want to give yourself that little bit of an edge
that actually does make the difference in getting these things.
Presentation
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
20. You need to be sitting in the reception area ten minutes before the
interview starts—no earlier, no later. If you get there earlier, the
interviewer is under pressure. People are busy; they might be
inconvenienced. While it's important to make sure you do not get
delayed and miss your interview as a result, if you do arrive earlier than
ten minutes before, wait outside the office.
Don't be late. If you're late for the interview there are no excuses—you
won't get the job. It doesn't matter whether your excuse is that the train
was late, the traffic was bad, or your alarm didn't go off. None of these
things matter. In my experience, 99% of people who are late for an
interview do not get the job. If you're running slightly late you need to
phone ahead straight away; you need to let them know straight away.
Arriving at the Interview
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
21. We've talked elsewhere and about
first impressions, and this is a prime example:
If you can't get to the interview properly
and on time then what does that say
about you?
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
22. Look smart. Still on the topic of first impressions, whenever you go for an
interview in IT you need to be smart. You need to be wearing a nice suit,
clean shoes; you need to have a tie on, and your top button should be
fastened. You don't need to buy a hugely expensive suit for the occasion,
and don't be over-dressed. You'd be amazed how many people turn up
for interviews without a tie on, with their top button undone, or with dirty
shoes. If you're a woman, then you should wear something as equally as
smart, a business suit (over the knee skirt or dress, with a tailored jacket,
or trousers, nothing too revealing – and makeup should be subtle. Don't
wear too much jewellery, and your hair should be clean and in a style that
says 'professional' NOT 'nightclub!' Should this make a difference? Perhaps
not, but it does. Think about how you present yourself professionally.
Look the part!
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
23. Be friendly. I understand everybody will be feeling nervous but be
friendly to everyone—you don't know who people are. When you go into
the office be especially friendly to the receptionist—she or he can have a
big influence. Talk to him or her if you're sat waiting for your
interview—you might find out something interesting about the company
that you might be able to use in your interview. You'll certainly get a feel
for what it's like to work there and whether or not it's the sort of place
where you want to work. Also, even a friendly five-minute conversation
with somebody who isn't going to be the decider in this process doesn't
half help to calm your nerves! So, be friendly to everyone.
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
24. So, you're sitting in reception. You've had your conversation with the
receptionist and you're waiting for the interviewer to come out and get
you. When they do come out, greet the interviewer with a firm handshake,
not a limp lettuce! Make eye contact with them, smile at them and, again,
be friendly. At the risk of repeating myself, first impressions count.
Whether you believe the stats or not, the fact is they're going to make
their mind up pretty quickly about whether they like you or not. These
initial exchanges make the difference between it being a relaxed and
successful interview and it being a tense, uncomfortable one. These
people want you to get the job; they've looked at your CV and think you
can do it. Everything so far has been leading up to you getting the
interview. Once you've been invited, you've got every chance of getting
this job – use that chance wisely.
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
25. As the interviewer comes to meet you and he walks you through to the
interview room, what's he going to do? Normally, he's going to ask you how
you are. What was your journey like? Be positive. People want to work with
positive people. Go back to the three points that we made earlier, one of
which was, “are you going to be a good person to work with?” Part of that is
how friendly or warm you are, or how you interact with people. So, be
positive! Nobody wants to hear that you've been stuck on a train and you
were very late, and it was a horrible journey; or you didn't sleep last night!
Be positive and friendly, and don't ever mention anything negative to them.
This little walk to the interview room might also be a chance to show some
of the preparation you've done. If the moment is right, mention something
great about the company—a recent news article, or an award they've won,
perhaps. These first impressions are all very, very important, and start with
these little interactions before the interview starts. They make a huge
difference as to whether you're going to ultimately get this job.
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
26. The final aspect of the three P's is performance. If you've done the right
preparation and you've made a good first impression, you've now got to
press home that advantage. There are a couple of obvious things that you
need to be doing first. You need to look at the interviewer, listen to what
they're saying, and you need to try and be open and relevant with your
answers. Speak clearly, and let the interviewer run the interview. As an
interviewer, there's nothing worse than someone jumping in and
interrupting your questions, even if that person is trying to add something to
it. Let the interviewer finish asking a question before responding to them.
Performance
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
27. I know we've spoken in our preparation of thinking about scenarios but
make sure you answer the questions they ask. If they're asking a question,
there's a reason they want to know the answer for that question. The
interview is about you showing them that you can do the job, that you want
the job; that you'd be good at the job, that you'd love doing the job, but also
that you would be a good person to work with. So answer the questions they
ask.
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
28. We've spoken here about face-to-face interviews and the process I've
outlined here is the same with a telephone interview. But there are many
other different types of interview: paver interviews, competency-based
interviews, panel interviews, group interviews. (We talk about competency-
based interviews shortly). If you've arranged the interview through a recruiter
or you've arranged it yourself, it's a good idea to ask what type of interview
to expect so you'll know how they're going to do the interview. How are they
going to structure it? Try and find out a little bit about what it's going to look
like. But whatever the form of the interview, what you've got to keep in mind
at all times is how you answer those three questions. Can you do the job?
Will you love doing the job? Will they love working with you?
Preparation, Presentation,
and Performance.
29. If you've done your preparation in enough depth, you've already identified
your key strengths and how that relates to the employer and how you can be
of benefit to them. The interview is your chance to get this over to the future
employer in the right way. Every answer you give should be aimed at doing
those three things.
As well as the first impressions that we spoke about earlier, there are also
last impressions. At the end of the interview you will normally get a chance
to say something. So the interviewer will say, "Have you got anything else for
us?" Someone once said to me, "Thank you for taking the time to see me
today. I just want to say that this is the job that I've been looking for, and if
you give me the chance I guarantee I'll give it 100% and I'm certain I can be a
success." Guess what? He got the job! It was very, very powerful and it leaves
a lasting impression. I've mentioned that to lots and lots and lots of people.
It takes a bit of confidence to say it, and you've got to believe it, and you've
