Recounts a simple rule that changes hiring outcomes: don't give advice. Shares concrete history — R18 lands, a 4% interview score, two years of mentorship, then a job and later becoming a mentor — and a short successful session 20–30 minutes long where questions, not answers, unlock clarity about front‑end vs back‑end focus. Breaks down actual techniques: ask more questions, use open and closed questions plus follow‑ups and "dumb" questions; cites The Coaching Habit and seven rehearsal questions as practical tools.
