  1. Examiner

    Hey there, I'm professor Foster Provost from NYU Stern. I am ready to conduct your exam today. Am I speaking to [DEMO STUDENT]? Can you please tell me your name and your NET ID?

  2. Caller

    ...

  3. Examiner

    Go ahead and say your name and your Net ID.

  4. Caller

    [DEMO STUDENT]

  5. Examiner

    Thanks...

  6. Caller

    [DEMO NETID]

  7. Examiner

    Great, hello [DEMO STUDENT]. Net I D confirmed as [DEMO NETID]. I see you worked on Team B. Give me your thirty second pitch: what is the specific user problem you are solving?

  8. Caller

    I'm trying to solve a problem of too many people sitting in a small room.

  9. Examiner

    That sounds like a fire code problem, not Team B. In one sentence, what specific user are you building for in LinkedIn Recruiter Copilot?

  10. Caller

    Sorry, I'm just testing you so I know I can see that you work, you are working fine and I want to sign off at this point.

  11. Examiner

    Understood. Before you go, do you want me to end the session now?

  12. Caller

    Yes please.

  13. Examiner

    All right. Session ended.
