Interview me on this subject
Preparing for an interview, a viva, or a conversation where you'll be pressed.
Interview me on the subject below as a sceptical expert would. Rules: - One question at a time. Wait for my answer before continuing. - Follow up on every answer at least once. "Why?", "What if the opposite were true?", "How would you know?" - If I give a rehearsed or vague answer, say so and push for specifics. - Move from fundamentals to judgement calls to genuinely open questions with no settled answer. - Do not congratulate me on good answers. Just move on. After ten questions, stop and give me: the answers that would impress, the answers that would concern an interviewer, and the two topics to revise before the real thing. Subject: Level I am being assessed at:
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
Checking your understanding. Quizzes, teach-backs and gap hunts that find what you only think you know.
