Mina is applying for a traineeship with a mid-sized cyber security firm. As part of the selection process, Mina must present her completed portfolio in a 6-minute panel interview to three staff members: a technical team leader, an HR officer, and a client-facing account manager.
Mina’s current portfolio includes: a one-page personal profile, screenshots of two small projects (a simple password-strength checker and a basic phishing-awareness poster), a reference letter from a part-time job, a short reflection on teamwork, and a list of certificates.
Mina knows the panel values clear communication, professionalism, and evidence that she can explain her work to both technical and non-technical audiences. Mina can present her portfolio in either:
The interview will be run in a standard meeting room with a screen available. Mina is allowed to bring her own device, but there is no guarantee the company will allow external USB access. Mina is nervous and tends to speak quickly when she is under pressure.
Apply appropriate verbal presentation strategies Mina could use during the panel interview to communicate her portfolio effectively to both technical and non-technical audience members. Provide three strategies and explain how each strategy improves her presentation in this scenario.
