Module 4 · The group discussion and the panel Lesson 12 of 15

Listening and the follow-up question

Worked example

Repeating "so you want to know how I handled a deadline that moved" buys you a second to think and proves you listened.

Your practice task

Take five common interview questions, repeat each back in one line, then answer and ask one follow-up.

Do this before moving on. Reading a solution teaches the shape of it; typing it teaches you.

Key takeaway

A good answer starts with hearing the question exactly. Repeat it in one line if it was long, answer, then ask one follow-up that shows you are thinking about their problem, not just your script.
