The Prezi Idea

Your presentation is one large canvas– Think of it as a picture/diagram of your talk

As you go through the presentation, you zoom in on different parts of the canvas

Parts (“frames”) can be rotated for interestPrezi animates the traveling from one frame to the next.

What is a Prezumé?A resumé in the form of a Prezi

A prezumé is NOT a self-introduction of your life story.– No baby photos!

Focus on what an employer would want to know about you.
