Four steps

How to print a interview prep

  1. 1

    Start from this form

    Opens on the interview prep: Company, Role, When, Three examples, ready to use, Likely questions, and the example you would use and the rest.

  2. 2

    Put your own heading on it

    Replace "Interview Preparation" with a name, a business or a date range.

  3. 3

    Set the row height

    13 rows at 6 mm fits more in; 14 mm suits a form filled in by hand.

  4. 4

    Print or save as PDF

    The three examples, before looking at any list of questions is the line to get right.

Who prints this

Anyone who has walked out of an interview knowing the better answer, and anyone facing a panel where the questions are fairly predictable.

The field that decides whether it works

The three examples, before looking at any list of questions. Answers are limited by the examples you have to hand, not by how well you speak.

Why it is laid out this way

Examples come first and questions second, which is the reverse of how most preparation is done. Matching a written example against each likely question is what stops the same story being told three times in one interview.

What is on the sheet
