The capstone mock
Once you prove the required skills, the HR Manager track ends with a full scored mock interview in the format this role actually uses. It probes your answers, pushes back on vague reasoning, and scores you on a rubric with evidence quoted from what you said, so you walk into the real loop already having done it once.
