What is real

Every quotation is copied from the organization’s own publication and links to it. The site’s build compares each one, word for word, with a saved excerpt of that page, and fails if a word differs.

What is invented

The practice interviews are original. Grove Research Program and every number, record and person in them are fictional. They are not any employer’s real interview questions.
