Northslope Practice

We will be practicing four broadly applicable questions that tend to generate useful signal for technical and semi-technical roles. 

• What is the toughest analytic problem you've faced? (understand the problem, their insight/contribution, the result, the impact)

• What’s your proudest problem-solving accomplishment? IF THEY REUSE #1, ASK FOR “ANOTHER” (understand what prompted it, which part was hardest, how they unlocked it, impact/results)

• What was your biggest analytic mistake or do-over in your prior roles? (understand context, consequences, what they would do differently, what kept them from doing that at the time)

• How were you most misunderstood in your last role? (get root cause, what they did to lead to that perception, what was true for them, key person who held that misperception most strongly) 

Switch roles and repeat!
