Question 1
Asked me about a time when I persuaded a group of people into something they did not want to do.
It was a one-to-one interview with a consultant. It's a typical case study. The experience was traumatizing. I know my answers weren't great, the consultant was elegant and didn't bother to hide his boredom.
