What to Do for a Medical Interview Presentation to Help You Present Powerfully
If you are called for an interview, then it is likely that you will be asked to give a presentation as well.
You need to prepare for your presentation as well as your consultant NHS interview
Here are some tips to help you condition for your interview presentations
 |
display topics are supplied to shortlisted candidates with the interview invitation details. It is advisable to use powerpoint for your display. |
|
The talk audience is likely to be different to and larger than the interview panel. You may not receive any warning that this is to happen. |
|
The presentation may take somewhere between 3 minutes to a quarter of an hour. |
|
Make sure you stick to the time stated, make it relevant and up-to-date, keep it light and up beat, and (but only if you are comfortable with this) inject some humour. |
|
Practice in front of an audience in advance, even if only an audience of one. This is one part of the recruitment process that you can fully control and it is often what forms first impressions. |
|
If the presentation is in an unit where you have previously worked or where you are acquainted, you are likely to feel more nervous than in an unit where most of the audience is unknown. Realise this beforehand and practice the display. |
|
Do not make assumptions about what the audience knows ” present as if you and the audience have little knowledge about each other, and assume some of the audience (eg Lay Chair, Faculty representative) have no or little knowledge of the department/ area about which you are talking. |
