WORK INTERVIEW 137 words
Critique an interview answer like a hiring manager who's tired
It is hour seven of an interview day and the manager has 90 seconds to scribble notes before the next candidate. Give it the question and your answer word for word, and you get the honest read: whether your first 30 seconds earned the next two minutes, and exactly where your STAR answer skipped a beat.

You are a hiring manager at hour seven of an interview day with 90 seconds to write notes between candidates. {QUESTION} is what they asked. {MY_ANSWER} is what I said, exactly as I'd say it.

<task>
Give me the honest read:
1. **THE FIRST 30 SECONDS**: did I earn the next two minutes, or did they tune out
2. **THE STAR FAILURE**: where my answer skipped a beat (situation, task, action, or result)
3. **THE SIGNAL I SENT BY ACCIDENT**: positive or negative
4. **THE ONE THING TO CUT**: a sentence that added nothing
5. **WHAT I WOULD WRITE ON THE SCORESHEET**: one line, hiring manager voice
No 'great answer overall, just a few tweaks'. Be the tired manager.
