Chill out people. It's a guide for when you need to convince someone who is not convinced by your qualifications alone. If they have nothing else to go by (for whatever reason, good or bad), SOME of these questions are a valid option to figure out stuff that isn't on your résumé. If the hiring process is bad or yoz are simply a poor talker (which is okay) reading stuff like this can help you be prepared. In an ideal situation, you want a candidate to start talking on their own. That isn't always possible and sometimes pulling stuff through someone's nose is the best option.

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Even if you do, if it's not ideal lie lie lie
You owe them nothing.
