Use this material to examine your own work. Confirm current requirements, forms and dates with ICE before applying.
Plan each part of your fifteen-minute presentation and rehearse it against the timer. Check how long it takes in practice.
Rehearsing properly
Three rehearsals, each with a different purpose, are worth more than ten of the same kind.
Alone, to time. The first tells you how long it really is. Almost everyone is over on the first attempt, usually by three or four minutes, and the cut is always in the background rather than the engineering.
To someone who does not know the project. They will stop you at the point where you assumed knowledge you did not give them. That point is invisible to you.
To your lead sponsor, with questions afterwards. Arranging practice interviews is part of their role. The questions matter more than the presentation here: you are finding out where the material is thin.
