Instruction and answer

Instruction

Sort the interview phrases into safe or risky.

Correct answer

I learn quickly and ask for feedback. -> Safe interview English; I hated my last boss. -> Risky interview English; Deadlines are not really my thing. -> Risky interview English; I can give an example from a high-pressure project. -> Safe interview English

Explanation

Good interview English stays specific and professional. Risky answers sound negative, vague, or careless even if the grammar is correct.
