What to learn and practise
- Answer out loud, not only in your head. Speaking is a skill that improves only by speaking.
- Use a simple shape: the point first, then a short example, then what happened or what you learned.
- Record yourself, listen back, and fix one thing at a time (pace, filler words, structure).
- Practise with a timer so your answers fit the time you will really have.
Common questions
How technical is it?
Mostly awareness and attitude. Know the basics and explain them simply.
