Hi everyone,

I have a 30-minute virtual interview (Entry level electrical engineer)coming up with a hiring manager, and I had a few questions I was hoping to get advice on:

1. I was thinking of preparing a brief slide deck to walk through my past projects and work experience during the technical interview. Is that generally acceptable, or do interviewers usually prefer not to have presentations? (I know there will likely be a formal presentation in later rounds.)
2. Is there a typical format these interviews follow? For example, should I expect mostly resume-based and behavioral questions?
3. If the interview isn’t strictly structured around my resume (as in Q2), should I also prepare for broader engineering topics? The job description mentions a wide range of areas including avionics hardware, PCBs, electrical systems, power systems, controls, communication systems, mechanical systems, propulsion, manufacturing, and systems engineering. That makes me unsure how broad my preparation should be—should I also review mechanical engineering fundamentals?

Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: I reached out to HR , and she said it’s okay to prepare a presentation, but I should first ask the interviewer at the start of the call whether he is open to viewing it, since they may have priority questions to cover
