What this workbook helps you do

Preparation means learning about the role and selecting examples you can explain. For a question about a challenge, describe the situation, your action, and what happened. Speak honestly about what you are still learning. Prepare practical questions about responsibilities, schedule, training, and next steps.

A practice example

For a teamwork question, a student explains a group assignment, how he handled a missed handoff, and what the group changed. He does not claim to have managed a company.
