 **It's important not to sugar-coat your feedback**. For some trainees, this will be their very first interview experience before they encounter real-world interview situations where they will be evaluated on the same terms as all other job applicants. Therefore, a realistic assessment of their own performance will be most useful for their learning & success.

The idea is that the HYF trainees will be able to understand the perspective from "both sides of the table", adding to their overall experience gained.
