By contrast, VIs are a prescribed list of questions - usually uniform to each candidate. 2) "I totally agree but helping others would never step in your way or...

    Posting the C&C questions gives people a very unfair advantage compared to the candidates who did the interview unseen. Especially given that the C&C questions were very specifically worded and difficult to pre-empt. Just make sure you have very convincing Clyde motivations. The situational...
