Interview Presentation Tips
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 tips to help you gear up for your interview presentations
 |
talk topics are given to candidates with the interview invitation details. It is advisable to use powerpoint for your talk. |
|
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 display until you get there. |
|
Times allocated can vary from 3 or 5 minutes up to 15 minutes. |
|
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 display is in an unit where you have previously worked or where you are acquainted, you are likely to feel more nervous than in an unit where most of the audience is unknown. Realise this in advance and practice the presentation. |
|
Use language that will allow lay members of the talk audience to understand your messages. |
