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 hints to help you train for your interview presentations
 |
presentation subjects are offered to shortlisted candidates with interview details. It is usually best to prepare a powerpoint display. |
|
The display audience is likely to be different to and larger than the interview panel. There is unlikely to be an advanced announcement of the display audience. |
|
You may be given between 3-15 minutes for your presentation. |
|
Keep the tone light and general, but ensure that you keep to the timings. |
|
You must practice your presentation – even if it is only to your spouse or partner. This is one part of the recruitment process that you can fully control and it is often what forms first impressions. |
|
If the display 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 hospital where most of the audience is unknown. Realise this beforehand 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 unit/ area about which you are talking. |
