CEng Application - Anybody with RECENT experience of the whole process?

Jason Wong
I am hoping to be in a position to submit an application for CEng relatively soon (after many years of pondering about registering). I need to do a bit of further work on my application content following advice from a PRA and one of my friends who got registered as CEng within the last few years. Then I just need my supporters to review and support my application (this may take time depending on how busy they are).


While I do more work on my application and wait for supporters to do their parts... Are there any recently registered CEng people who don't mind sharing the experience of the whole process through the IET? Any tips and advice on any aspects of the process? From submitting the application form through to the interview and presentation.


Would also be interesting to hear from anybody who has had any problems with the process? What would you do differently (or the IET could do differently to help improve things)?


Thanks,


Jason.

    A PRA said more detail ... we may be talking cross purposes her.


    I view an application are paerclip-pushing bits (name address, waffle etc) and the actual meat .. the bit that tells us all about your competence... its that I am talking about and if 11 pages was deemed too short then I would disagree with the PRA advice.


    Aside from a very small handful of cases, overwhelmingly between 2 and 4 pages is more than enough properly constructed... and thats the point... CM does not allow that


    If your concerned then happy if you send me a copy of where you are to look over.


    I may sound like 'Mr grumpy' but communication is a skill.. and part of that is to consider your audience. Let me ask you a question. If you were interviewing a candidate and they had 10, 15 20+ pages of detailed career history in front of you, honestly, would you have time to read it, would you actually be able to make use of it in a 45 min interview ? The answer is no to both (if your honest), so why do you expect different from volunteer assessors ?


    You are selling yourself, your career, your successes, your failures (and the learning therin)... take us on a journy.. but keep our interest
