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,

    Don't go out of your way to ensure all the competencies are covered in the presentation as the presentation is supposed to show the A and B competencies. The others tend to be covered (particularly D2 as that is presenting findings to others - i.e. giving a presentation) as they are part of the way you work but don't let the A and B competency coverage suffer through trying to get in examples of all competencies. Anything that you don't seem to have covered in the presentation will be drawn out of you in the subsequent discussion, possibly without you realising it.

    For E5, I would suggest taking a look at the case studies in ethics that are on the IET website. These give hypothetical situations and ask what your response would be. Working through a case study is not the sort of thing you can offer as evidence in your interview, but it gives you an idea of the sort of evidence that might be appropriate from your own experience. I should say the case studies were in the "Professional Ethics" area of the old website - where they are now I couldn't tell you.
