How to Use Presentation Skills at a Job Interview
Tip #7: Control your voice
Presenters and public speakers need to have clear, strong, confident voices, and so do you when facing your interviewers. We advise you to drink water before the interview, because your voice may dry out from speaking or from nerves. Watch your speaking speed. You expect your interviewers to understand your answers and have time to make notes, so make sure to pause periodically. Vary your tone and pitch (высота голоса) to emphasize keywords, like numbers or data that show past successes.
Presentations are dreaded (наводят страх) almost as much as job interviews, but excelling at both is necessary for professional success. By seeing the connections between the two, you can approach your next presentation with more enthusiasm. By getting better at presentation skills, you can approach your next interview with more confidence and that extra edge over the competition (преимущество над конкурентами).
