1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

There is no "best" way to go about "knowing" your CV, the study of CV would have to be done on a case-by-case basis, let me give you an example, if you have specified in your CV that you did some ICDR research on a particular proviso, then you just CANNOT stop at just knowing the particular research is not ENOUGH. You will need to know what is ICDR, why was it implemented, how is it practically used, what is an IPO, and so on and so forth. You need to know your topic of research very well and you must have a broad understanding of everything about the particular research that you have talked about. If you are still a beginner, then reading SEBI regulations straight up might be a little hard for you so I would advise reading articles on places like Mondaq or even LinkedIn.
Another example: Let us say you are a lateral hire and you specify that you have drafted an Employment Agreement for a company, then your knowledge of Employment Agreement would need to be thorough, be prepared for questions like
- Who is an employee?
- What kind of leaves is an employee entitled to?
- Dispute Resolution?
- The applicability of various labor laws like Factories Act, Industrial Disputes Act, Shops and Establishment Act etc would also come in handy.
Thank about it practically, what would YOU ask a candidate if they claimed to have worked on a task "x"; this advice is left vague because there is no "right" answer. It will exclusively depend upon what you have written.
