About to go into my virtual on-site interviews and am struggling when practicing for hypothetical questions. I can’t seem to organize my answer and thoughts the way I want. Any tips or methodology?

Taking a sample question I found online- How would you convince leadership to go in another direction? >>> I don’t even know where to start when answering this.

Literally, create a fake situation for yourself and write what you would do. Give yourself five such real problems during practice. You’ll notice you have a method to your madness. Just like we always write our assumptions down before answering a math problem, I’m sure you take facts about the situation, reiterate their position, contemplate strengths and weaknesses of it, then raise the phenom that gave birth to your new direction. Talk about its strengths and weaknesses and how it is preferable to the current course of action.

Everyone has a way. Maybe it is the above. Maybe it is divide and conquer. If you don’t know the art of problem solving they will poke holes and you won’t make it. Know your mind and methods.
