Many thanks to Simon Raybould for his comment to my post on interview skills.
He is of course quite right. Presentation skills lend a strategic edge in addition to the tactical advantage they present to the user.
Understanding the processes of communication cannot be anything other than advantageous in any forum, the opportunities they impart in an interview situation can be immense.
Understanding the aims of communication and the means of delivery places an interviewee in a great position to discern the real concerns and goals of the interviewer. If the interview is a negotiation, and after all business is negotiation, then questions, statements, silences and pauses, patterns in speech, gestures and facial expression are the tools of the trade.
Knowing how to use this skill-set places you in a powerful position when it comes to assessing its use by others. Good research, tactical deployment of presentation skills and a keen eye and ear should yield good results.
You are quite right Simon.
