    Start by listing what the requirements of the job are then against that list which of you talents and abilities fit them. Then decide which are the msot important for the post. When you've done that you should have an outline of what you want/need to say....then you need to think how best to present it. That's very much a matter of style for some that will be a powerpoint for others a jokey speech. Think what the company does, how it presents itself, what sort of person its looking for and then figure out what's the best way of presenting yourself in that fashion. An undertakers needs adifferent kind of perosn than a sales department! Play to your strengths and their requirements.
    Just because somebody is certain doesn't mean they are right!

    Also try to think about unique things. So is there something you can bring to the role that you think others in the area/field etc. may not have, or may not have the same amount of experience for. You need to think about your 'unique selling point' - why they should employ you rather than any of the other people they are seeing.

    And don't do death by powerpoint - don't type up every word you will say. Brief bullet points as headings for what you then say. I'd avoid too much frivolous zany clip art unless you're sure it's suitable for the company.
  • hmmm a power point presentation about yourself eh, well what do you think are your good points? match those to the job specification and that should equal a winner, best of luck
