That is correct. When you talk to the recruiters to arrange your |
| 29 |
sessions, we expect that you are absolutely ready. If you are not, we |
| 30 |
spend time go over corner cases in the quizzes etc that the mentor |
| 31 |
never told you about (even though he went through the same |
| 32 |
"interrogation" during his sessions). On rare occasions we stop the |
| 33 |
sessions and hand the recruit back to his mentor. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
It's not your fault if you are not ready. It's very hard for you to |
| 36 |
know if you are ready or not. Only your mentor knows that and he |
| 37 |
should do his best to train you properly. |
