Hi,

On Friday I have a job assessment centre and part of the assessment is a five minute personal presentation in which I give three key attributes and why they are suitable to the company with whom I am applying. I then have to say why I chose that firm.

Are there any particularly snappy/good ideas you would give me for this? How do I come across as self-assured but not cocky?

Think of your strengths, and more importantly you must have examples of behaviour or situations in which you demonstrated those strengths. Also a good idea to link these to the job you're applying for. Have they given you a job spec? That's usually a good indication of the qualities they are looking for in prospective employees.
