Job interview power Point

After several job applications, I finally got to get an interview for a tutor position. However, this time the interview was a bit different than all the others I had attended as a viewer. Most interviews were, as a rule, a presentation of the candidate skills and experience matching the job description. Mine had to be different, and more challenging. The rules: Fifteen-minute presentation of a lecture on one of 3 subjects, aiming at level 1 students; followed by 10 minutes presentation of my CV. Here it is. Ohh, and by the way, I got the job.
