I have to create a slide deck for a case study interview soon. Is it acceptable to download a theme template from slide hero or Microsoft? Also don’t have the time to create many custom visuals, and obviously can’t leverage slides I’ve created at EY - do people tweak visuals they’ve found on the internet? I don’t want to plagiarize, but not sure what the norm is for these types of interviews. Any help is greatly appreciated

I usually take an internal template and tweak the color scheme to that of the company I’m interviewing at. I also borrow certain visuals (chart types) because it saves time... won’t have to play with fonts, sizes, colors, etc which saves time. Case study doesn’t have to be the best work product of all time but it should be a reflection of how badly you want the job... aka do your best to not half ass it, because someone else won’t

^this! Your current internal templates have likely gone though multiple marketing reviews so you know they’re at least solid visually and will help story board more efficiently than creating from scratch.

“Don’t have the time”????

Do you really want the job or not. I had to do one of these and spent the entire weekend working on it. Got the job.

Just make the theme black…

I would make the slides as pretty as possible. It’s an interview- you should be pulling all the cards out. If you don’t, somebody else will.
