Interview Presentation Steers
If you are called for an interview, then it is likely that you will be asked to give a presentation as well.
You need to prepare for your presentation as well as your consultant NHS interview
Here are some points to help you build up for your interview presentations
 |
talk topics are given to prospects with the interview invitation details. It is advisable to use powerpoint for your talk. |
|
Expect to deliver your talk to a bigger group than will be at your interview. There is unlikely to be an advanced announcement of the presentation audience. |
|
The talk may take somewhere between 3 minutes to a quarter of an hour. |
|
You have to adhere to the time limits, keep focussed to the topic and don’t get too detailed. |
|
Practice in front of an audience in advance, even if only an audience of one. You have 100% control of your image management at this stage and you must take that control. |
|
If the presentation is in an organisation where you have previously been employed in or where you are acquainted, you are likely to feel more nervous than in an unit where most of the audience is unknown. Realize this in advance and practice the display. |
|
Do not make assumptions about what the audience knows ” present as if you and the audience have little knowledge about each other, and assume some of the audience (eg Lay Chair, Faculty representative) have no or little knowledge of the organization/ area about which you are talking. |
