    That was genuinely THE BEST resource that I found on prepping up for such interviews. Sandy was definitely a tough task master and I can't appreciate him enough and Dennis too, putting himself out there. Thank you to both. I gained from Sandy's knowledge and learned from Dennis' experience.

    I would appreciate if first, Sandy let the interview flow till the last question and came back clip by clip. Then each clip will be criticized and asked to re-answered one by one. I think this way will have less interference to the interviewee esteem. Plus, this video would be more interesting with comparison and clear sections and less with the unnecessary nerve. However, this is really an eye-opening tutorial. Sandy really striked each point professionally and somehow managed to make you feel like you were going to have the nightmare before the your own interview.
