Which tyre was it?

Which tyre was it?

At a university the two students received A’s in their Math all through the semester.
But on the night before the final exam, they partied and could not reach the exam centre in time. Their excuse to the teacher was that they had a flat tyre and requested for a make up test.
The teacher agreed and wrote a test and sent them to two separate rooms to complete the test. The first question was worth 5 marks and 2nd question was 95 marks – which read “ which tyre was it?”
How likely will they pass this test?

The interview is a game and practice can boost the performance

Taking time to think and writing an answer to the interview question will help you prepare the script. Writing a response sharpens your thought process and gives an opportunity to review the response and make improvement to the script. You don’t need to memorize the answer.

Thinking through, writing and reviewing the response to the interview questions increases preparedness, boosts the confidence and reduces anxiety. It builds up a repertoire of stories for easy retrieval and you can now focus on delivery during the actual interview. Your confidence spirals upwards with each answer and increases the chances of a better outcome.

Prepare well before the interview. Know the common interview questions. Learn the dos and don’ts. Write, practice and improve your specific response either by yourself or by feedback from a family member or a colleague or a teacher. You will gain mastery through practice.

As they say, if you want to be good at something, then you must practice to learn, and grow.
