Having the month and year of the "interview" would be helpful. Down-the-road, it will help give context to the information. A neat idea would be to allow for follow-up "interviews" later.

If you have not already done so, I would recommend choosing a language to invest in, with the goal of becoming proficient in it. The purpose here is to select a language to be your "default" language. Write out a list of the thing
