Crafting a Strong Interview Answer: Personal Story
A structured way to respond to the common interview question, emphasizing insights from hiring research.
The exact change
Blockquote, in quotation marks, presented as if directly quoting Cal Newport's "So Good They Can't Ignore You," while the attribution line itself said "paraphrasing" underneath it - quoted but admittedly not a quotation.
Removed the quotation-mark framing and the false-direct-quote presentation; converted to attributed-in-spirit prose with an explicit caveat that it is a paraphrase, not a direct quotation from the book.
Why this is better
The article contradicted itself: text was set inside quotation marks as if directly quoted from Cal Newport, but the attribution line beneath it said "paraphrasing." A quote cannot simultaneously be quoted and admittedly not quoted. Fixed by removing the quotation-mark framing.
