20-30 slides should be enough to cover 30-40 minutes. You need to rehearsal many times before the real thing, which should give you some idea about the length.

希望给个大包子. 我曾经做两次presentation,在同一个职位面试. First round, very bad, 大老板都听 睡着了,可想而知. Second round, very good, 连最挑剔的两个HR头头,都说非常好,说 她们居然可以理解我讲的,虽然不理解背后science, hehe. By the way, I got the offer eventually. Dream offer. First, you need select a good topic, must be good both for them and for you. Second, determine what you want to demonstrate in the talk: problem solving? your idea? your executtion? etc. This is the so called "theme" of your talk. Third, you should ask them who will be audience. You should know before going there. After you get the list of names, google them, know their background and experience, Ph.D./Master schools, the more you know them, the better you will position yourself. 知己知彼,百战不怠. Then you can decide how deep you should go for details. Fourth,preparation, preparation, and preparation. Not just rehearsal in front of friends or mirror. You need think about what questions they may ask . Also, you should play some tricks to induce them to ask some questions you definitely know the answer. In another word, you should anticipate what they may ask. At the same time, you should not put on any slides or information that will draw questions that you don't know the answer or you feel not very confident. Fifth, in the slides, more vivid stuffs like pictures, plots, less texts; never read slides. Sixth, when delivering the talk, be very engaging, keep smiling, act very confidently and be sharp. If somebody asked a question you really don't know the answer, and if you know that person is an expert in your field, don't be defensive, don't beat around the bush, you can say very diplomatically but also frankly like "to be honest, it is a really good question, I don't know the exact answer for the time being, but here is my understanding on this, maybe not perfectly accurate, .........". Also, be energetic, keep very confident but not aggressive eye contact. Try to speak slowly. people tend to speak fast when they are nervous. The above are my thoughts in my mind for the time being. Best of luck!
