A clear structure is non-negotiable for your 5 or 10-minute presentation.

Without it, you risk rambling.

Structure ensures your key messages are communicated effectively, keeping you focused and your audience engaged.

If you choose to ask a question at the end of your interview, ensure it's meaningful.

Avoid asking about information readily available or previously discussed.

Your question should reflect a thoughtful consideration of the role and organisation.

For each potential interview question:

Write down 3 key points and practice talking about each point for 45 seconds.

This exercise builds your skill in conveying content concisely and confidently.

Seek feedback on your structured answers from peers or mentors.

This input can help refine your:

- Timing
- Clarity
- Impact

Interview Tip:

Start strong with a 30-45 second intro for your answers.

Set the context and outline the 3 main points you'll discuss.

This prep sets a clear roadmap for your answer and primes the panel for what's to come.

Did you know?

Pre-interview meetings offer valuable intel about what's on the team’s radar.

This insight can tailor your interview responses to what they care about most.

Remember:

Every pre-interview meeting is an opportunity.

Pay attention to what they are telling you.

It'll give you gold for your interview prep.
