Many graduates did not realise the importance of presentation, whether for their assignment, project or themselves. If they have learned about marketing, communication, branding, they should have realised that presentation is of utmost importance. Unfortunately, many programs were concentrating too much on academic matters at the expense of presentation. If you want to make first impression counts, do your homework on presentation. This means , you blog, your website, your work, your image and everything you do that comes into public view.
In presentation, think of the story line, the target audience, what do they want to see and how can you make it interesting to them. Think in terms of their views and you will do so much better.
