Topic summary

An aspiring apprentice electrician in Australia seeks project ideas to present at an upcoming interview to demonstrate relevant electrical skills. Suggestions include building a small adjustable bench power supply (0-12V, 1A linear supply) to showcase understanding of AC/DC voltage conversion, rectification, filtering, and safety components like fuses. Another recommended project is a simple motor starter circuit featuring start/stop buttons, a relay, and a light bulb to simulate motor operation, illustrating knowledge of across-the-line motor starters. Additional advice includes preparing a comprehensive portfolio or "me" book containing resumes, certificates, work samples, and photographs to support interview discussions. Creative ideas such as producing a printed portfolio book or a business card designed as a printed circuit board (PCB) were also proposed to stand out. Resources suggested for project plans and parts include hobbyist power supply kits found via online searches and the EEVBlog website, which offers interview tips and technical guidance. Custom enclosures with machined faceplates and handles can enhance project presentation.
