How do you give a clear, structured answer when an interviewer asks "tell me about a time when you …" or "describe an important project you worked on"? What if your only projects are personal ones? What if you have an example, but are limited by an NDA?

Interviews are conversations, and practice helps you navigate any situation well. Come practice with fellow Nanodegree students and alumni, and get interviewing tips from Career Coach Angela McDonald.
