J Career History
Please provide details of your work experience, following the advice below:
This part of your application is particularly important and you need to present your evidence
carefully and concisely. Remember that your objective is to sell yourself to the interviewers in
your application form, so that before you walk into the interview they already think you are
registrable and all they have to do is confirm your competence.
Summarise your employment history by giving the following for each post you have held:
dates; name/place of employer; your job title; your main responsibilities and achievements
rather than a bland job description. You should complete at least one page as it is unlikely
that less than one page will adequately demonstrate your relevant experience.
Arrange your experience in chronological order. Our preference is that you start with your
earliest post.
Remember when presenting evidence:
o
o
o
o
o
Keep it personal, i.e. talk about your own achievements, not what the team did.
Use terms such as "I led, designed, built, tested, negotiated, presented, implemented,
achieved.
Avoid use of jargon and unnecessary or unexplained abbreviations.
Use language that can be understood by someone who is not a specialist in your field.
Use words like I designed the XYZ system rather than the XYZ system was designed
so that you are clearly stating who did what and emphasising your own individual role.
Give an extended description of your current role, or the role that is most relevant to the
demonstration of your current competence, giving details of your responsibilities together with
any relevant metrics. You should aim to be very specific in your examples and if you have
held lots of different roles, you should select examples that best illustrate your competence.
Indicate the size and complexity of the projects or tasks for which you have had direct
responsibility, and quantify any budget(s) for which you have had overall responsibility. Use
numbers to show the size and scale of your responsibility; for example, numbers of people
supervised, or the value in financial terms of the activity for which you were responsible.
Remember that your application form will be used as an agenda for the interview, therefore it
is in your own interest to give a full and clear summary of your responsibilities and
competence, otherwise time will be wasted while the interviewers try and understand facts
which should be on the form.
When you have submitted your application form, it will be checked by IET staff and then
reviewed to determine if there is sufficient evidence of your competence to progress to a
Professional Review Interview, or if further evidence of your competence is needed.
K Declaration
Sign and date the application, confirming the statements given are true to the best of your knowledge.
The Institution of Engineering and Technology is registered as a Charity in England and Wales (No. 211014) and Scotland (No. SC038698)
L Supporters Details
Aim to choose Supporters who have detailed and up-to-date knowledge of your work so that all the
information in the application can be verified.
Please see below who may act in the roles of Supporter:
Engineering Council or international equivalent registered engineer, who is a Member or
Fellow of the IET or another professional technical or scientific organisation of equivalent
standing, working at a senior level to the candidate, preferably for at least two years, and with
direct knowledge of the candidates role and responsibilities.
Where a registered engineer with direct knowledge of the candidate is not available,
the current line manager, or employer, may act as Supporter.
The third supporter signature is optional and may be necessary, for example, if you work on
contracts, as an additional signature to enable adequate verification of periods for your
employment.
The Institution of Engineering and Technology is registered as a Charity in England and Wales (No. 211014) and Scotland (No. SC038698)
Inquiry Forms
Please complete Section 1 of the Inquiry form and pass a copy of the letter and form to each of your
Supporters for completion. The completed Inquiry forms should be either submitted with your
application form or emailed/posted directly to the IET by your Supporter. Please note your
registration cannot be completed until the Inquiry forms have been received and reviewed as
part of your overall application.
