Business roles ask consultants, product managers, revenue and sales operations staff, customer service experts and other professionals to build realistic workplace tasks for AI, judge AI assistants on business work, show how they use office and productivity tools, or share how they work in paid interviews. These practice questions focus on realistic tasks and clear judgement.

Practice questions

These are practice questions written for this site to help you prepare. No platform has said it asks these exact questions.

  1. Describe a typical weekly workflow in your job that an AI assistant could help with.

    A good answer covers: Concrete steps, tools, inputs and outputs, and where judgement is needed.

  2. Turn that workflow into a hard task for an AI, with a way to grade the answer.

    A good answer covers: Realistic files or data, a clear deliverable and a rubric or checklist.

  3. How would you judge an AI-written market sizing?

    A good answer covers: Sensible method, sourced assumptions, arithmetic correct, and a range rather than false precision.

  4. Review an AI-generated slide or spreadsheet for a client.

    A good answer covers: Accuracy of numbers, clear message, formatting, and whether it answers the client's question.

  5. How should a customer service reply from an AI handle an angry customer?

    A good answer covers: Acknowledge the problem, give a concrete fix or next step, stay calm and avoid promises it cannot keep.

  6. Explain a CRM pipeline to someone outside sales.

    A good answer covers: Stages from lead to deal, what moves a deal forward, and the metrics tracked.

  7. What would you share, and not share, in a paid interview about your company's tools?

    A good answer covers: Your own experience and opinions; no confidential data, client names or internal documents.

  8. How do you prioritise when everything is urgent?

    A good answer covers: Impact and deadline, a simple framework, and communicating trade-offs.

What the platforms say about the assessment

In the 9 October 2026 data, roles in this group came from micro1, SME Careers, Meridial, Terac and Welo Data (Welocalize). Each platform runs its own process, and steps can differ by role. Below is what each platform's public pages or postings say, followed by lines quoted from current postings in this group.

micro1

  • micro1's experts page describes four steps: apply for opportunities, take the AI interview, get onboarded, start earning.
  • Postings commonly list screening questions, then an AI interview, then in some roles a technical assessment, then a review by the hiring manager. Interview lengths stated in postings range from about 10 to 30 minutes.
  • Some postings ask you to complete the interview and assessment without outside assistance.
  • micro1's FAQ says certification does not guarantee immediate placement on a project.

SME Careers

  • Many SME Careers postings state: 'Selection process involves an AI interview, a domain-specific task, and an interview with a recruiter.'
  • Many postings also say there is no immediate project for the role, and that qualified applicants will be contacted first when relevant opportunities arise.

Meridial

  • Meridial postings describe the work and requirements but do not describe the screening steps.
  • Postings say contractors supply their own secure computer and internet connection, and recording roles add a high-quality microphone and recording setup. Company benefits such as health insurance do not apply.
  • We could not confirm Meridial's selection steps from a public page; treat the posting itself as the guide.

Terac

  • Terac's expert docs describe signing in with LinkedIn, verifying your phone, connecting LinkedIn or adding a resume, and a short voice conversation of about 10 minutes that the docs say you can skip and take later.
  • Each opportunity then has its own steps, usually screening questions followed by the tasks themselves. Research postings describe remote video or voice interviews of 30 to 90 minutes.

Welo Data (Welocalize)

  • Welo Data's join page lists these steps: apply, create a Welo Works account, take a Language and Cultural Assessment, optional study materials, a qualification exam, then payment setup and agreement.
  • Many postings say there is no formal interview and the process is automated. Several mention learning modules and a quality test designed by the client; translation roles may include a translation test.
  • Welo Data says it only contacts applicants from @welocalize.com, @weloglobal.com, @hire.lever.co and @welodata.ai addresses and never asks for fees.
