I'm not sure I understand this question

I would just tell them that it's calculating the likelihood of a certain event given the parameters set by other events. Cause1 + Cause2 = Effect1 OR Effect2, then you determine whether the Effect1 or Effect2 is more likely to occur than its counterpart; just because there are two options in this model does not mean you can infer 50/50 distribution of the outcome. Or maybe something less nerdy, who knows... ;)

That really depends on if they are looking for a long or short answer. I'd go with the short summation first, "predicting the ratio of cause(s) to a specific outcome," because they are probably really asking "can you explain this without sounding pretentious" because they wouldn't want to work with someone who thinks they're hot stuff because they can speak fluent geek

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?
