What's This "Preparation Time" All About?
Think of preparation time as your personal mini-intermission between questions. It's a brief moment to collect your thoughts before the spotlight turns on. Here's how it works:
You click to see the next interview question.
The clock starts ticking – you've got 2 minutes to prepare.
When time's up, recording begins automatically. It's showtime!
Why 2 Minutes?
We believe in creating a fair playing field for all candidates. Here's why we chose the 2-minute prep time:
It's long enough to gather your thoughts and take a deep breath.
It's short enough to keep the "think on your feet" essence of a live interview.
It ensures every candidate gets the same opportunity to shine.
But Wait, Isn't This Cheating?
Not at all! Here's why:
Real-world relevance: In many jobs, you'll need to quickly process information and respond. This mimics that skill.
Equity is key: It levels the playing field. Whether you're a fast thinker or need a moment to process, everyone gets the same prep time.
Reduced anxiety: A little prep time can help you showcase your true potential without freezing up.
Making the Most of Your 2 Minutes
Here are some tips to maximize your preparation time:
Read the question carefully: Make sure you understand what's being asked.
Jot down key points: Use the notepad feature to outline your thoughts.
Take a deep breath: Use the last few seconds to center yourself.
