Write before interpreting
Soon after the interview, record the questions, your answers, the interviewer's signals, and any facts you learned. Separate what happened from how you feel about it.
Score the evidence
Review each answer for clarity, relevance, evidence, and outcome. Note where you lacked an example or missed the intent behind a question.
- Capture promised follow-ups
- List questions you wish you had asked
- Mark assumptions that still need verification
Create one practice loop
Choose one or two improvements and rehearse them with fresh wording. The goal is not to memorise a script; it is to make your evidence easier to retrieve under pressure.
