Experience between submitting and interview

Mark Brett
I have my CEng interview coming up this month. Since submitting my application (actually while I was on Shared Parental Leave) and now I've changed rolls and am doing a lot more 'C' competencies that my interviewers will be particularly focusing on.


Is it reasonable to include recent experience that isn't covered in my application form, perhaps in my presentation, or should I stick to the snapshot in time that is on my application form?

    Your presentation just needs to demonstrate your understanding, in depth, of your chosen subject. I always recommend that you should be able to discuss every aspect in depth.

    The interviewers are not going to try and catch you out - often we don’t have full familiarity of a presentation subject and just want to know, your response just reinforces your competence.

    I suggest you get a colleague who is familiar with the subject to quiz you on it - that may help settle your nerves when you get there and may lead you to amend bits and pieces.

    The subject doesn’t have to have been included in your application but should be fairly recent - that way it should be fresh in your memory banks. 

    Good Luck - let us know the result
