24. Are you experienced in speeches and presentations? How do you prepare for these?
How to Answer
Hopefully one of your weaknesses isn't public speaking. If public speaking isn't a strength be sure to mention it but add that you are working at it improving yourself and getting more comfortable. Tell the interviewer what your tricks are to professionally deliver information to the audience. This is not the time to tell the interviewer that you picture everyone naked.

"I am a confident public speaker. As a dental surgeon, I used to consult with my patients a lot. During my Master's program, I have had done lots of presentations with 12-15 people group. I try to make my presentation simple. I do a lot of research before the presentation & utilize different communication techniques to make presentations fun, interesting, and engaging."

Great! The interviewer will appreciate your experience. Outside of stating that you've done this before, don't forget to convey how capable you are in this area. Have you ever received positive feedback after giving a presentation? If so, mention this. Also, discuss how you prepare for these presentations and how this preparation pays off. Good job!
