any HR peeps about? DP having a tough time prepping for interview tomorrow

[OneBusyFinch]

He's ace on research, he's prepped extensively. His problem in practice is when he's asked a question that's not asked the same way as he's practiced and prepped for it. He's really angry and upset with himself. Interview is tomorrow and it means a lot.

I've talked to him about active listening and reflecting the answer back to give his brain time to unfreeze. Does anyone have any practical help they can give?

Topics that are helpful for answers catalogue.

Ratter than focussing on the questions and ‘right answers’, flip it round a bit and put together 4-5 things that are good interview talking topics.

Get those clear, the highlights, the ‘learning opportunities’, what he did, the 30 second context.

And what sort of questions they’re good to use in a response for.

Then it’s about listening to the question and picking from his examples menu. Not scrabbling around.
