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 hints to help you gear up for your interview presentations
 |
talk subjects are provided to shortlisted candidates with the interview invitation details. It is usually best to prepare a powerpoint display. |
|
Do not be surprised if you are expected to present in a larger room to an audience much wider than the interview panel. You may not receive any warning that this is to happen. |
|
The display may take somewhere between 3 minutes to a quarter of an hour. |
|
Keep the tone light and general, but ensure that you keep to the timings. |
|
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 talk is in an organization where you have antecedently been employed in or where you are renowned, you are likely to feel more nervous than in an organization where most of the audience is unknown. Realise this in advance and practice the talk. |
|
Remember that not everybody at your talk will necessary know the topic matter. Don’t use language or jargon that could alienate members of the audience. |
