How many times HR department asked for you to do a presentation during a job interview? It is already successful to be questioned about your abilities. As a person who loves to give presentations, I think it is an opportunity to shine. But a lot of my friends get anxious just to get on stage. Which side are you on?

Hey Alara! It does seem like more and more companies are incorporating this strategy in their screening process. I think it really depends on the field. It does seem like a great way to weed out the candidates though I don't think it should be the determining factor. I hate presentations and I'm much more comfortable 1:1 or in a small group setting. But I can def see why companies go this route.

Yes, I agree. There are a lot of people that are not like giving a presentation and I think this brings a disadvantage. But I heard that an engineer friend of mine asked for such a presentation. I thought this was a sales&marketing team skill.

I love all of that :-) I agree if you have well prepped for the preso, it could really help you close the deal!
