If you've not got PowerPoint on your computer you can view and edit the presentation using Microsoft's free PowerPoint Online facility:
https:/ /office .live.c om/star t/Power Point.a spx
Alternatively you can install a free office suite that's capable of handling Microsoft PowerPoint formats. The most popular one is Apache OpenOffice, where Impress is the program you use in place of PowerPoint:
https:/ /office .live.c om/star t/Power Point.a spx
If you actually have got PowerPoint on your computer, please tell us about any error messages you see when trying to open the presentation. (Alternatively, just use one of the solutions above anyway).

Note you can save a Powerpoint presentation as a self running program that does NOT need Powerpoint installed to run it.
I used to do this at work when I created a Powerpoint presentation to give to people who did not have Powerpoint installed.
Check the Powerpoint options on your version of Powerpoint or search Google for "self running Powerpoint presentation" or phrases like that.

An update to my reply above.
It is not a self running that you want (that is for having at a trade fair or similar where the slide show runs automatically without human interaction)
However you CAN create a Powerpoint presentation that can run without Powerpiont being installed, I just cant remember the actual details as I have not done it for a while.
I seem to remember it was creating it as an EXE file but not sure how.

As Guilbert says, it's possible to create a presentation which can be viewed without PowerPoint. (Instructions here: https:/ /suppor t.offic e.com/e n-us/ar ticle/t urn-you r-prese ntation -into-a -video- c140551 f-cb37- 4818-b5 d4-3e30 815c3e8 3 ).
However such a presentation can't be edited without PowerPoint. (You need PowerPoint itself, PowerPoint Online or a third-party program, such as OpenOffice Impress, to carry out any editing you want to do on a PowerPoint presentation).

I would check with the place where youa re being interviewed. Some places now have closed off the drives that USB sticks go in to prevent viruses or more often to stop staff extracting confidential data. Check whether they accept USBs and which version of powerpoint they have. Or you could email them the presentation to them and ask them to confirm that it could be opened and made available to you.
As Chico said, try OpenOffice
https:/ /www.op enoffic e.org/
or LibreOffice

However, you're missing the point. Things like PowerPoint should be banned.
Please do not inflict that crap on humanity.
