Interview Presentation Points
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 steers to help you condition for your interview presentations
 |
presentation subjects are provided to shortlisted candidates with the interview invitation details. A powerpoint display is to be recommended. |
|
Do not be surprised if you are expected to present in a larger room to an audience much wider than the interview panel. You probably won’t know who will be at the presentation until you get there. |
|
The presentation may take somewhere between 3 minutes to a quarter of an hour. |
|
Make sure you stick to the time stated, make it relevant and up-to-date, keep it light and up beat, and (but only if you are comfortable with this) inject some humour. |
|
Definitely take the chance to rehearse your talk. This is one part of the recruitment process that you can fully control and it is often what forms first impressions. |
|
If the talk is in an hospital where you have previously worked or where you are well-known, you are likely to feel more nervous than in an organisation where most of the audience is unknown. Realize this in advance and practice the display. |
|
Use language that will allow lay members of the display audience to understand your messages. |
