CEng PRI & Presentation

P Trim
Hello


I have my PRI interview coming up in early March and I have almost completed my PowerPoint presentation but I have a few concerns regarding the technical content on the slides and I was looking for a little advice and direction please if possible.


I work for a consultancy firm who are a Type A Registered Inspection Body so my work is predominantly based around reviewing designs and assessing quantitive data relating to performance of safety critical components and electrical installations.


I have found it difficult to try and capture my role and portray it onto a slide without losing the technical detail, I am concerned I will either produce far too much in the way technical information and it appear like a technical report or too little and end up with just summaries of the projects I have been involved in. Currently my presentation is around five slides, including two projects and examples from a written publication I was part of so hoping this may be enough?


Also, the email from IET administration has indicated that the interview will pay particular attention to competency 'C'. I am assuming this is indication that my initial application was not sufficient in providing details against this competency spec? I am not too concerned by this as I have since reviewed my application and have worked through the UK-SPEC matrix over the last few days and weeks to prepare for the interview so will pay particular attention to expanding on this where possible.


Any advice is much appreciated.

    Paul,


    Great advice from Andy which I would endorse, but also don't try to cover multiple projects in your presentation. Just one or two projects at most which show the appropriate competences. If you need to show lots of projects to cover the competences it will indicate to the interviewers that you are only intermittently working to the right level instead of working at that level all the time.


    Run through with a PRA but also practice the presentation several times before even that to get the timing right. If you run through with a PRA and are significantly under or over the time you will have to make changes which might need a second run through (though running through a presentation that is too long with a PRA gives you the advantage of being told which bits to keep and which to cut)


    Best wishes for your interview,


    Alasdair
