<p>Currently, our &quot;self-study&quot; closure reason reads:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Self-study questions (including textbook exercises, old exam papers, and homework) that seek to understand the concepts are welcome, but those that demand a solution need to indicate clearly at what step help or advice are needed. For help writing a good self-study question, please visit <a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/12">the meta pages</a>.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>It seems to me like we are getting an increasing number of questions that originate from job interview questions.</p>
<p>I would say we should treat them just like self study questions (request that the tag be added, show work instead of only asking for the answer etc.).</p>
<p>If the community agrees, I would also ask that we include &quot;interview&quot; explicitly in the closure reason, i.e., modify the parenthetical expression to</p>
<blockquote>
<p>(including textbook exercises, old exam papers, <em>homework, and interview questions</em>)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>and then also include this in <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/self-study">the tag wiki excerpt</a>.</p>
