I don't know how the interviewer phrases the question exactly but I hope the "next Monday" part isn't meant as a "gotcha".
Because once you start talking about "ideal this and ideal that", you're in fantasy land (because here in the real world there is no ideal) where anything goes and by next Monday I'm an expert in whatever... unless you're really clear about the constraints.
- dalke 11y agoIt's a gotcha. From the article: > The phrase "starting Monday" places the job in a specific time. It's clear that we're not talking about a position you will one day aspire to, nor are we talking about a dream job that can't actually exist. If a job is to start on Monday, you don't have time to learn new skills or gain experience. You are what you are, professionally, and you need to come up with a job that you can effectively perform next week.
