2 Comments:

  • From the questions:

    Interviewer have very minimal knowledge to the person to be interviewed.

    Most questions are fact-based with very little opinion-based questions.

    Most questions are 'general' questions and does not really bring out the reason for the interview

    There is a logical flow to the questions and the questions do make sense.

  • Go with Alex's advice, and sharpen the questions.

    Question 13 has a very obvious answer: of course it's used for things besides sports (paratroopers, movie makers, simple escape, etc.).
