Presentations can feel daunting at first, and as someone who has always been nervous when it comes to public speaking, I used to dread them! However, they're really just a chance to show how clearly you can communicate and structure your thoughts. I found that taking the time to prepare in advance and practicing a couple times really helped to calm my nerves, and I got a lot better at them over time <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Once you get your topic, I would start by planning a simple structure - an introduction, two or three main points, and a clear conclusion or recommendation. Make sure that everything links back to your main message / overall theme so it feels focused and logical.I would also try to practice delivering it out loud (and timing yourself can help), and try to sound confident and conversational rather than overly scripted. If visuals are allowed, I would keep these simple and easy to follow as the focus should be in the information that you are delivering.It also might be worth preparing for one or two follow-up questions, as interviewers often want to see how you think on your feet. I would avoid trying to prepare for every follow-up question possible - as long as you have a good understanding of the topic itself, and take a moment to clear your thoughts, you should be able to tackle any question they throw your way!You've got this - with a clear structure and a few practice runs, you'll definitely come across polished and confident! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
