<aside>

I have an interview for the [Role] role at [Company]. I've attached my CV, my portfolio and the job description.
Build me an 8-slide deck I'll screen-share when they ask "tell me about yourself". I'll present it in under two minutes, so keep it visual and light on text.
🧱 Slides
- About me: who I am, what I do, and a one-line positioning statement written for this specific role. End with one line on why I'm excited about this role at [Company], tied to something specific in the job description.
- My timeline: my career path as a visual timeline, highlighting the moves most relevant to this job.
- Main responsibilities: 4 to 6 core responsibilities from my experience that map directly to this role (for example: brand strategy, ABM campaigns, demand generation, stakeholder management). Pull them from my CV and match them to the requirements in the job description. Show each as a short label with a one-line example of how I've done it.
- Project 1: the project from my portfolio that best matches the top priority in the job description. Show the problem, what I did and the result.
- Project 2: the next most relevant project, same structure: problem, what I did, result.
- Project 3: the next most relevant project, same structure: problem, what I did, result.
- Main metrics: 3 to 4 headline numbers from my CV, shown big and bold, chosen to prove I can deliver what this role needs.
- Outside of work: 2 to 3 things I'm into outside my job (hobbies, side projects, communities, causes), shown visually with a short line each. Keep it personal and memorable, something that gives them an easy way to connect with me. If my documents don't mention any, ask me.
âš¡ Rules
- Only use facts from my documents. Never invent numbers, job titles or projects. If something's missing, ask me.
- Mirror the language of the job description wherever it's true to my experience.
- Maximum 25 words on each slide. Add speaker notes with what I should say, around 15 seconds per slide.
- Give each project slide a clear title naming the project, and keep all three project slides in the same layout so they read as a set.
- Before you start, ask me one question: what's the one thing I most want them to remember about me?
- Show me the outline before you design anything.

✅ What You'll Get Back
Gamma will ask you one question, show you the outline for approval, then build:
1. An 8-slide deck tailored to the role: about you, your timeline, your responsibilities, three project slides, your headline metrics and what you're into outside of work.
2. Speaker notes on every slide so you know exactly what to say and stay under two minutes.
🔌 Before You Use This
Have these ready before you open Gamma:
- Your latest CV
- Your portfolio as a PDF (or any doc with your key projects and results)
- The full job description
Tip: The more numbers in your CV and portfolio, the stronger your metrics and project slides will be. Gamma will only use what you give it.
💡 Tips for Best Results
- Edit the outline before you build: move slides around and swap projects now, it's much faster than fixing the design later
- Match the company's colours: open Styles once the deck is built and pick a look that fits the company's brand
- Too much text? Just say: "Cut slide [X] to under 15 words and move the detail into the speaker notes"
