As a Project Manager, one of your job duties will be preparing and giving presentations to your team, stakeholders, and superiors. The interviewer wants to hear that you are comfortable creating and giving presentations to ensure you will be a good fit for the team.

Focus on describing your experience in preparing and giving presentations and your comfort level in doing so. Explain how proficient you are with PowerPoint or other slide presentation software and how comfortable you are speaking in front of others.

Even if you are not comfortable preparing and giving presentations, you want to avoid telling the interviewer. If you do not have a key skill they are looking for in a Project Manager, they will pass you over for a more qualified candidate.

If you are uncomfortable creating slide presentations, it is best to learn the software by reading an online tutorial or watching a video. If your public speaking skills need improvement, you can enroll in a public speaking or leadership class to hone your skills before your interview.

"I am very comfortable preparing and giving presentations. I have ten years of experience creating PowerPoint, Prezi, and Google slides and presenting information to groups as small as five and as large as 500. Over the years, I have honed my skills by taking leadership, project management, and public speaking courses."
