The interviewer may not have had an opportunity to review your CV or application, so be prepared to give a high-level overview of your experience and education. When speaking about your experience, provide your total years of experience, describe the settings you have worked and provide some insight into the patient populations you have worked with. Then provide the interviewer with details about your education and certifications and any other training relevant to the position you're applying for with the NHS.

"I'm a recent graduate with a degree in occupational therapy and I'm registered with the HCPC. I do not have any formal experience as an OT, but prior to completing my program, I did volunteer at the hospital in an administrative role to gain exposure and experience in healthcare. I love working with children, and I'm eager to find a role with the NHS that allows me to officially begin my career and grow."

"I have a degree in occupational therapy and I'm registered with the HCPC. I have six years of experience as an occupational therapist, all of which have been at an independent practice. My responsibilities there included assessing people's physical, learning, and sensory skills and their impact on daily life through observation, discussion, and gathering information from the individual and others, helping to develop a person's life skills, developing structures and routines that promote a person's independence and wellbeing, providing training to help others understand and support people with learning disabilities, and providing equipment and organising environmental adaptations."
