I just went through a phone interview with a candidate today who did this. He had pre-shared a 36-page presentation of his career/goals/etc. I spent some time studying this presentation ahead of the interview and thought he was thoughtful and that this indicated an attention to clear communication. Then we started the interview. I told him I had read his presentation in detail and commended him on the homework. He then super-politely asked if he could spend ten minutes to quickly go through it to add some more details, via a shared screen service. "Sure, why not?" 40 minutes later I finally cut him off, two thirds into the presentation. I came away from this thinking he was trying to control the communication, perhaps stearing me away from probing at his weaknesses rather than thinking he was a proactive comminicator. Please don't do this.
