The words to use
- Taper
- Cutting your workload before a performance so that what you know stays fresh. On the last day, it means a short spoken review and nothing new.
- Night-before fact
- Something learned just before the interview. It feels fresh, but there is no depth behind it, so it tends to collapse at the first follow-up.
- Recall note
- Notes written within hours of an interview: the questions, what you said, and where follow-ups bit. The best preparation for your next interview.
- Station confidentiality
- The request that applicants do not share interview tasks, questions or station content, so that every applicant is treated equally.
