Choice of topic?

Hi. I have to do a 10 minute presentation as part of the interview process for a job as a consultant with a major software company. The topic is entirely free choice, I guess as they are assessing my skills as a presenter rather than giving me an opportunity to "sell myself". I'm not sure whether to choose a topic which is relevant to the job itself, in which case I have an idea for "10 Steps To Ensuring Your Project Is Late, Over-Budget and Doesn't Work Anyway", or a more general and possibly less obvious choice such as "Usenet to Wikipedia: The Fall And Rise Of User-Generated Content".

Any comments, suggestions, or advice really would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

I think these are great ideas. For a very safe presentation I would suggest "my most succcessful project" but I think that the "10 Steps To Ensuring Your Project Is Late, Over-Budget and Doesn't Work Anyway" would be very entertaining and would bring out your real personality

Kind regards
