Practice by role

Every role below has its own six questions, written for that job rather than reskinned from a generic list. Three of them also have a full written guide on this site. If yours is not listed, the product still works — questions are shaped by the job description you paste in.

Roles with a written guide

Data & Business Analyst

Stakeholder pushback, messy data, and explaining a number to someone who does not want to hear it.

Product Manager

Prioritisation under pressure, saying no well, and shipping something imperfect on purpose.

Sales

A deal you lost, an objection you did not see coming, and the quarter you missed.

Every role in the product

These each have their own question set inside Straight With Me. The written guides for them are being added in order of how many people are looking for them.

  • Healthcare and education — Nursing & Healthcare, Teaching & Education
  • Business and operations — Data & Business Analyst, Product Manager, Project Manager, Operations & Supply Chain, Consulting & Strategy
  • Sales, marketing and service — Customer Service & Support, Sales & Business Development, Marketing
  • People and admin — HR, People & Recruiting; Administrative & Executive Assistant
  • Technology — Software Engineer (behavioural round), Engineering Manager
  • Finance — Accounting & Finance
  • Service and hourly — Retail, Restaurant & Hospitality
  • Early career — Internship, Graduate & First Job

One thing that is deliberately different by role

Some jobs are measured in numbers and some are not. For an analyst or a salesperson, an answer without a figure in it is a weak answer, and Straight With Me says so. For a nurse or a teacher, demanding a percentage would be bad advice — so for those roles it asks how the situation actually ended instead. Same feedback engine, different standard, because the jobs are not the same.

Why only three written guides

Because writing a guide for a job takes reading what that job is really assessed on, and claiming equal depth across eighteen of them today would be a lie. Nursing and teaching are next, in that order, because that is where the demand is. If you want yours prioritised, tell us which one.
