I have recorded this prompt twice to illustrate that two recordings can take different approaches.
The first version does a bit of a deep dive into segments, something we wouldn't normally do in a live case but helps those who struggle with User Segmentation.
The second is a more standard approach without any extras, more like a regular mock.
-
Can you hear the differences?
Do you have a favorite or preferred approach?
Would you give a Hire vs No Hire?
What levels would you hire this candidate for?
Coach’s Note: The challenges and criteria are hidden to allow the listener to decide on their own before considering the coach’s advice.

No Partner: There is no one 'mocking' the ‘candidate’. I go through the motions assuming the answer to all questions is “You decide.” There are no probing questions from an interviewer.
Follow Along: The recording is set up to allow you to work alongside by pausing OR to just listen/view like a podcast, it is up to you. Leverage it for your preferred learning style.
