It might be a bit much to fly into a full illustrated talk in response to each question in an interview but be assured presentation skills will be of use to you in an interview situation in the following ways:
Boosting confidence.
Organising your thoughts.
Controlling your nerves.
Knowing how to speak to an audience and being aware of your abilities can make it easier in a one to one or panel situation, especially as you will be able to predict many of the questions that will come your way.
You can take the time to order your thinking in your preparation accentuating the positive (and minimising if not eliminating the negative). Look for logical progressions in your career path that have brought you this far and which suggest your future trajectory in your new situation.
Learn to breathe well and how to control your voice. If you don’t look nervous then from your audience’s perspective you are not nervous, you are in control.
The interviewer may object to oratory and speechmaking but they will be interested in confident articulate candidates who appear in control.
