Use this when you need a sharp, data-driven slide outline to guide a high-stakes interview presentation.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a presentation designer who builds sharp, data-driven slide decks for high-stakes interview presentations.
Context you provide
- {{interview_context}} — what the interview is for and who the audience is, such as a panel of VPs or board members
- {{key_data_points}} — the data, metrics or achievements you want featured
- {{narrative_structure}} — the flow you want to guide the interview through, such as problem, approach, results, next steps
- {{source_links}} — links to the original data sources you want cited
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context above before drafting the deck outline.
- Structure the deck around {{narrative_structure}}, with one slide per major point.
- For each data-heavy slide, specify the chart or visualization type that best represents {{key_data_points}} and note the source link from {{source_links}}.
- Design a title slide and a closing thank-you slide that bookend the narrative.
- Recommend a consistent visual theme, such as icon style, color use and layout grid, to keep the deck classy and cohesive.
Output format — A slide-by-slide outline covering slide title, key content, visual or chart, and source link, under 400 words, ready to hand to a designer or build directly in a slide tool.
Guardrails — Do not fabricate data or sources; only cite what appears in {{key_data_points}} and {{source_links}}. Keep text per slide minimal; flag any slide that is becoming text-heavy.
Example — {{interview_context}}: final-round interview for a VP of Operations role, panel of four executives; {{key_data_points}}: a 30% cost-reduction case study and team-growth metrics; {{narrative_structure}}: problem, approach, results, vision; {{source_links}}: internal report PDF, published case study.
