IEng Interview Presentation

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
Good afternoon All,


I've been informed of the date for my IEng interview - but i've got just one area i am unsure about, and that's the 15 minute presentation i've to provide at the start of this interview.


I've tried looking all over the internet for examples of interview presentations, just to get a feel for the sort of "look" they should have, and what balance of text/images, and details of text written on them.


Does anyone know of any examples online? I just want to make sure i get the structure and level of detail / infomation etc correct. I don't want it to end up looking over technical, or missing the type of infomation the interviewers would want to see.


Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

    Lee,

    The big problem with Powerpoint is everybody does it differently. What you need to do is have something you are comfortable with. My only advice is don't fill the slides with text and then read them out. The slides should amplify what you are talking about, not repeat it. I personally try to balance pictures and text but if there are no relevant pictures then am not worried if a slide is all text (provided there is not too much of it).

    I would suggest that you talk over what you are going to present with a PRA and have a practice in giving the presentation to somebody (ideally this would be the PRA but as PRAs are volunteers he/she may not have the time/opportunity). You may then get some constructive comments that can be incorporated before the interview.

    If you need further clarification on anything, don't be afraid to post the question - you will find everyone on this forum will be willing to offer advice (albeit sometimes conflicting....)
