WHY — DI instead of guessing?
Why interviewers care about DI:

Name the idea, why it exists, then one short example.
End with when you use it and one common pitfall.
STEPS — What happens step by step?
Before you speak the answer, walk the interviewer through these steps:
- 1I inject services through
the constructor and register them in the container.
- 2Framework MVC needed a
custom resolver
- 3How it works
Core has it built in.
- 4I avoid the service
locator pattern inside actions.
- 5Common mistake
What juniors usually get wrong.
- 6Close
When you pick this over the alternative.
EXAMPLE — See it in action
Here's a short line you can speak, broken into clear beats:
Note: Adapt this scaffold to your own project — keep it under 60–90 seconds.
Key takeaway
I inject services through the constructor and register them in the container. Framework MVC needed a custom resolver
