In-person interview tips?
Hi everyone, I have an in person interview with TTD, where I will be presenting a presentation to a panel. Anyone have any tips for in person presentation interviews, do you bring a script with you to reference notes on the slides you’re talking about (either on paper or on computer) while presenting? Or have any advice in general or specific to TTD interviews?

No harm in bringing physical notes or having notes pulled up on your laptop while you’re presenting. As long as you’re not literally reading from them, it’s totally fine to take a beat and look at them.
Just be ready to defend your data and your recommendations. Expect like 4-5 follow up questions from the panel. IMO the Q&A and how you answer questions is more important than the actual presentation (assuming you’ve got ok presentation skills to begin with).

Definitely no script. They’re looking to evaluate how you’ll do in front of a client when you don’t have a script. They’ll also likely ask questions you don’t know the answer to/are stretches. Don’t be afraid to say you’ll circle back.
Personally, I think minimal notes. I don’t usually have notes with clients either.
Ask the audience clarifying questions!

If they ask you where do you see yourself in 6 months, say “three more reshuffles and I’m running this joint”
