Glossary
Short definitions of the terms the guides use, each with who uses it, one example and the pages that use it most.
Interview debrief meaning: two senses of the word
Interview debrief meaning depends on who says it: the interviewers' meeting after a loop, or a candidate's written review of their own interview that day.
GlossaryFact-locked resume: what the term means on a resume
A fact-locked resume is built from facts you confirmed: the figure, what it measured and its source. Once locked, a value never changes in any rewrite.
GlossaryConsent line: what you confirm before recording
In interview recording, the consent line is the statement you confirm before each recording starts: everyone on the call knows they are being recorded.
GlossaryLost the room in an interview: what the phrase means
You lost the room in an interview when the interviewer stops weighing you as a hire and starts running out the clock, often after an answer that drifts.
GlossaryBehavioral vs situational interview questions
Behavioral vs situational interview questions differ in tense. A behavioral question asks what you did in the past, a situational one what you would do.
