Time zones without errors

Show why this lesson detail matters: "A timezone error is the one mistake that turns a candidate's whole impression cold."

Step 1 of 2

A timezone error is the one mistake that turns a candidate's whole impression cold. They blocked their morning, dialed in at the wrong hour and now they're sitting alone on a Zoom call wondering whether Cursor is worth the trouble. The fix is not talent. It is a habit you make visible.

The JD names this on purpose

Cursor's job description literally describes the ideal RC as the kind of person who triple-checks the calendar invite timezone before hitting send. That isn't a throwaway line. It's a signal that detail obsession on timezones is part of the bar and the interview will probe whether you treat it as a discipline or an afterthought.
