Fit and behavioural

Thirteen firms, and what each publishes about the non-case half of the interview. Some print six complete questions; some print the criteria they measure answers against, word for word; one of the best known publishes nothing at all. These guides keep those differences visible rather than averaging them into a single list of questions nobody actually asks.
