Sarah: Don't worry, you'll do great! Let's practice some common interview questions to help you prepare. Can you tell me about yourself?


Tom: Sure! My name is Tom, and I recently graduated from university with a degree in computer science. During my studies, I completed several internships where I gained experience in web development and software engineering.


Sarah: That's impressive, Tom. Now, let's talk about handling challenging situations. How would you answer a question about your weaknesses?
