Hi guys,
Need help,I am joining VMware Banglore on 27th June. During interview I told them I need wfh. They said it wil be wfh this entire year. Only mistake I did was i didn't permanent wfh. I took for granted like once I join i can opt for it ( as my VMware friends had said we can opt for it)
Now the offices have started, I am scared if they call me to office , I have 14months son, not willing to leave him n go for office.
So if I ask manager to give me permanent wfh will they agree ?

Assuming it’s a case:
Make it interesting and insightful. Lead with thoughts and recommendations, have support come after. Assume your audience is bored and hates you, and your job is to fix that.
At your level I’d be pretty harsh on the quality of your writing and glaring typos or mistakes.
I’d also expect well laid out, consistent slides.
But really just cut stuff. Then cut some more. If it’s boring and tells me anything I already know based on the assignment, it won’t be good.
Also, at the senior level, I will deliberately challenge you on things even if I know you’re actually right, just to see how you handle it. I’ve got difficult clients and demanding creatives to please. Can’t have any weaklings.
In terms of story, headlines should tell the entire story. Everything else should on the slide should support the headline.
Titling your slides instead of headlining them is ass.
But at the end of the day I can teach you to be a better presenter. I can’t make you smarter. So be smart. Really make sure you don’t have any logic errors.
Ugh, this idea of headlines needs to die. Your slides don’t actually need headlines if you’re a good presenter. Tell your story, don’t write goddamned headlines and then put bullets and tables and charts and 6 points under them. Drives me crazy
CD1 you’re talking some pro level shit though. Not “I need help on fishbowl” level shit. This person should absolutely have tight headlines on every slide
I have one coming up so looking to hear answers. What I’m doing is understanding the parameters of the presentation. What they want to see. How long they want the presentation to be. And what content they might want to see. I’m putting my best foot forward and showing them why they need to hire me. This is proof of you able to present, able to communicate your passion for your work, and your ability to create what they need for their clients. Have fun with it. Be well prepared. And just remember your interviewing them as much as they are you
From personal recent experience - have fun and be yourself. For all I know my one was the last time for ages I’ll get to do it just how I like it, so relish the chance to do it your way!
Ask about length. Mine was 20 mins.
And as it’s a one off - I would suggest placing clarity above all else. No back and forths about it afterwards, after all. I resisted the temptation to put some “clever thinking” in, would have been a distraction.
Good luck!
You should find a structure that is clear and gives you some room to play. “5 Reasons Why Julie is the BEST Pick for this Role” and then you get to go over work and greatest hits but also slot in a fun/interesting anecdote/hobby/creative outlet. “5 Things” or something like it also gives you guidelines against which you can write.
And the single most important thing is articulate what you do better than anyone else. That should be your closer. Hopefully your presentation has prepared them to hear that thing
Better designed slides. Fewer works. Visually beautiful
To some points ITT, I showed my work a bit more than I usually would. Providing a chart of data to go with my insight, adding lots of “based on information available” etc. I also added a “further questions I’d like to explore” slide that gave a look into my thought process where, if I had the job, I’d be able to dig a bit more in a certain direction.
I got the job, so I did something right.
But above all else: Bring printouts for everyone!!! I think the thing that impressed them most was having plenty of decks to pass around the table. Being how many you think you’ll need plus 3-5 more.
@SD2 alright, I’ll give you that one
