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 prepare for your interview presentations
 |
display subjects are supplied to shortlisted candidates with interview details. It is usually best to prepare a powerpoint presentation. |
|
The talk audience is likely to be different to and larger than the interview panel. There is unlikely to be an advanced announcement of the presentation audience. |
|
You may be given between 3-15 minutes for your presentation. |
|
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 talk is in an unit where you have previously been employed in 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. |
|
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 organisation/ area about which you are talking. |
