Liam Horan, Managing Director, Sli Nua Careers Ltd, talks to Aidan Crowley of Community Radio Castlebar –  a series of career tips interviews that will be broadcast each Monday on CRC-fm at 5.30pm GMT.

This week:

Today we can deal with these two issues:

Q: I’m going for a second interview for a position as a social media intern. They want a presentation as well on what I would do if I got the position. They haven’t specified what format they want the presentation in. I was thinking about PowerPoint. I could outline some of my ideas there and maybe highlight some good social media campaigns I’ve seen. Would that be good enough? (BW, email)

How much detail should you give in a job interview – that’s a question clients ask us all the time.
