This week high school students are working on the PowerPoints for the career fair. Here are some helpful hints to remember to keep your PowerPoint PROFESSIONAL.
- Limit your fonts to 1 or 2 fonts.
- Keep fonts appropriate (a child-like font would be fine for a daycare but not a mechanic).
- Have an instructor proof-read your presentation; make necessary corrections.
- Pictures as backgrounds to the slide can be nice, but are often overused and make the words hard to read. If you must use a picture as a background consider fading the picture or coloring the background of the text.
- Sound can be helpful but should make sense and be choosen in the appropriate spot.
- Keep colors consistent through out the entire presentation. It may be a good idea to choose colors that represent the business you visited.
