● Answer: It is always the strength of the argument rather than length of the argument that is important. In the job interviews we are given limited time to present ourselves. So we need to pack many things in few words.

We all know that in a world where there is competition for our attention we need to capture the attention of our audience quickly and give them concepts that they can quickly and easily adopt. It will be a challenge to constrain the length of your assignment but the ability to communicate succinctly is highly desirable in the modern workplace.
