Generally looks great, thanks! A few small thoughts
| ## Stage 3: The Technical Interview, 25 minutes 📞 | ||
|
|
||
| Pick any technical topic such as Javascript, Python, SQL, databases, etc., and search for the Top 50 beginner interview questions for that topic. Read through the list together. Discuss if there are any surprises in there. Which questions did you find easy and which ones did you find difficult? Try asking each other a couple of questions and see if you can answer them. Practice what you will say if you do not know an answer. | ||
| There are different types of technical interviews that may be used, read the [full CYF guide to technical interviews](https://curriculum.codeyourfuture.io/guides/employability/interview/technical-interview-prep/) and [CYF guide to take home tests](https://curriculum.codeyourfuture.io/guides/employability/interview/take-home-tests/) for an in depth guide. |

When are we expecting them to read this? There's a lot of material here, so presumably not in the workshop itself? Is this:
- Pre-reading they should have done, which we need to assign in backlog/prep?
- A suggestion for something to do after the workshop?
Let's be explicit about it
|
|
||
| For the purpose of today's workshop we will be covering 2 types of technical interview question. | ||
|
|
||
| 1. **Knowledge based technical interview questions** - The purpose of these questions is to assess your knowledge of technical concepts, where there will typically be a right and a wrong answer. It is in part a test of your memory. [This](https://www.interviewbit.com/javascript-interview-questions/) is a good list of starter Javascript questions. |

Avoid using "this" as a link, it isn't very friendly to screen readers:

I think ideally "picking some questions" would be done before class... WDYT?
|
|
||
| #### Spend 20 minutes asking each other questions, 10 minutes each | ||

Should we point at the above link for JS questions specifically, rather than suggesting searching separately?

Adding some more detail and links to the interview workshop after running it with the ITP London cohort. Extending the timings so there is plenty of time to practice.
