Interview Questions
Most interview questions are one of six tests wearing different clothes: can you do the job, will you stay, will you fit, how do you handle pressure, what will you cost, and do you actually want this. Learn the six and you can answer questions you've never seen before.
Interviewers rarely care about the literal question. They are collecting evidence against six worries. Once you can name the worry behind a question, you stop memorising scripts and start answering the thing that is actually being asked.
