Anyone been asked to prepare a slide presentation for an interview about a recent deal you handled describing legal issues etc? I'm currently in house and so feel like this is potentially asking me to beach privilege and/or confidentiality. I could think back to a deal from when I was at a law firm but no way I remember those deals in sufficient detail. And preparing a 15 minute presentation with slides seems like too much effort for a job I may not get! What have you done in this situation?

I applied for and was screened by HR for a Director position. It wasn't a good fit but I was passed over to another VP. I had a phone interview with that VP which went very well.

I received feedback via a 3rd-party recruiter that the company is in the process of creating a req. and will bring me on-site for another interview. Problem: They changed the level to Principal Eng. What should I do?

How do you get students to extend their writing voluntarily, without setting a minimum number of sentences/pages? It’s frustrating to say, “Write a paragraph about xyz,” and the first thing kids say is, “How many sentences?” If you say, “Seven,” then they become period counters, and that’s where they stop even if it’s in the middle of a thought. My goal is to give the assignment and they complete it fully without counting periods/pages.
