The most anxious aspect of interview preparation is often wondering what you’re going to be asked. It’s tough to prepare ahead of time, when you aren’t even sure what you need to be prepared for. Just your luck, the interview questions that you know the answers to like the back of your hand will be the ones they steer clear of; the questions that never even cross your mind, they’ll ask.
You no longer have to be caught off guard. Fumbling, seeing blank pages in your mental rolodex, and thinking of the best answers only after you’ve left the room are all part of the past thanks to Waggl.
