Especially for ops roles, I’ve been surprised by people not actually following the instructions correctly (especially related to re-naming the work test document in a specific way, or making sure you’re using the correct view settings).
Another extreme example would be for candidates to just copy and paste LLM answers and only slightly formatting them—oftentimes the answers are way too long and not relevant for the specific task.
As Eli said, making sure you have few typos, consistent formatting and answering the questions correctly, being clear on your uncertainties and making comments how you made a decision or what you’d do if you had more time etc.
