A little while a go I posted a thread about an application I wanted to make for a management development scheme with a security and events company I've been working for off and on since 2001.


Well thanks to the advice some of you gave me I've managed to get an interview so am over the moon, but now am I'm really nervous. I've gone through a hell of a lot over the past few years; the psychotic ex, the court battle to see my kids and the battle with depression being some of the main highlights. Naturally my confidence has taken a huge knock and this is the best opportunity I've had career wise in some time.

Anyway, the email I received doesn't give a hell of a lot of information on what to expect, other than that I'm to prepare a 5 minute presentation on any subject I like other than about the company itself.

Other than that, what sort of things can I expect? How else can I best prepare? I've never applied for a management role (trainee scheme or otherwise) so just looking for advice from you wonderful people who may have gone through it etc...
 
My housemates away for the next few days but if it's still of any use next week and I remember I'll ask him.
He's been a team leader, operations manager for a security company and is in the middle of applying for a national management position within another security company.


The interview is on Wednesday morning, so if you could that would be a huge help mate.... thank you!
 
Thank you guys, especially you Housey & tom e....

It's given me a lot to think about... I just hope I don't balls it up now! This could be the start of some big changes in my life....
 
Thanks Hyburnate.....


So I'm narrowing my list of possible subjects to do my presentation on, am thinking either covering 'male victims of domestic abuse' or 'Bullying' but think they maybe a bit too serious, what do you guys think? Should I go for something with a touch of humor about it instead?
 
Fair enough, that was what I was worried about to be honest....

The one thing they've said is it can't be about the company.... any suggestions on a topic that could be considered light hearted enough without me looking like a loon or man child?
