I have an interview with KPMG in the consulting sector and have been asked to prepare a PowerPoint presentation with one slide introducing myself, my professional background, and my motivation. How can I best present this information, and how much of my résumé should I include, given that the interviewers are already familiar with it and I do not want to repeat myself?
Hello! I’d focus less on rehashing your full CV and more on creating a narrative that connects the dots between who you are, what you’ve done, and why you’re motivated for this role. A good 1-slide intro usually has three parts:
To make the visual compelling, keep text to a minimum (always large font size) and use icons or timelines for clarity.
With this, the interviewer will get who you are, why you are there, and will be curious to learn more! Good luck!
Hi there,
You can keep the slide clear and visually balanced by using a simple two-column layout:
Keep fonts large, use whitespace, and limit each bullet to 1-2 lines. This way, the slide looks polished, easy to scan, and supports your spoken introduction rather than replacing it.
Kind regards,
Kevin
Moment to shine: Treat this as a mini pitch, not a résumé recap.
Rule: If it’s already on your CV, only include it here if you can present it visually or with extra context that adds personality.
