# Draft interview questions: scoring guide Turn a job description into one set of job-related interview questions that every candidate gets, each tied to a duty, with what a good answer includes and a check that no question touches a protected topic. ## How to use it 1. Run the template on your own material, or take an answer you already have. 2. For each criterion below, read the answer against the two lines and tick one: meets or does not meet. Quote what you saw. 3. A criterion marked "checked by you" is yours to mark. An AI cannot meet it for you. 4. Count the ticks for meets, out of 11. Fix the first criterion that is not met and run the guide again. ## The guide ### 1. Every item is quoted word for word from the job description A plain rule you can check by eye. - Meets: Every item in the table is found word for word in the job description. - Does not meet: An item has been reworded or added, such as a quality like team player that the text does not say. - Your mark: [ ] Meets [ ] Does not meet - What you saw: ### 2.
