Summary

'The application is returning 500 errors, walk me through what you'd do' — testing a calm, systematic diagnostic process rather than a specific memorized answer.

• 2Prepare a real troubleshooting story from your own practice work, even a small one.
• 3Practice narrating your reasoning out loud — the process is what's being evaluated.
