Ok, this one is obvious. Some jobs, especially in middle management and sales, require top-notch presentations, so candidates who did not learn PowerPoint will not even be considered. Do a few PowerPoint tutorials to learn the basics or brush up on skills before the interview.
Business School Applications
The University of Chicago recently mandated all MBA applicants submit a PowerPoint presentation with their applications.
