Katelyn explains everything with clear, concise real-world examples. There are a lot of great PDFs to download with each section of the course that are super useful; checklists, exercises, common questions, etc. Just fantastic.

I liked how there were exercises to do along the way that can be used and stored for your own interviews/interview prep. In addition, I really liked how there were some hints/examples of things you could say in response to some of the questions in the exercises to help get your creative juices going, extremely helpful.
