What catches people out
- Lead with one core skill on your resume too; it is what you will be evaluated on.
- Zara follows up on your answers, so prepare real numbers, timelines and outcomes rather than topics.
- Think out loud on scenario questions: they assess how you reason, not only the answer.
- If you are not certified, request the feedback and fix what it names before you try again.
