Interview Process

Interviews can be stressful — but a clear process turns nerves into confidence. Follow these steps to prepare and perform at your best.

1. Research the company
   Understand the company’s mission, products, and culture. Read recent news, check LinkedIn profiles of the hiring team, and review employee reviews to get a sense of workplace values.
2. Understand the role deeply
   Revisit the job description. Map your past experiences to the key responsibilities. Prepare two to three real examples that demonstrate how you solved problems relevant to the role.
3. Practice common questions
   Prepare concise answers for:

• “Tell me about yourself.” (60–90 seconds)
• “Why do you want this role?”
• Behavioral prompts using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result).

4. Prepare role‑specific tasks
   Technical roles often include tests. Review fundamentals, solve a few sample problems, or prepare a short portfolio of work to share.
5. Plan logistics
   Know the interview format (video, phone, in‑person), test your tech, pick a quiet spot, and arrive 5–10 minutes early for in‑person interviews.
6. Ask thoughtful questions
   End by asking about team dynamics, success metrics for the role, or next steps. This shows interest and helps you evaluate fit.
7. Post‑interview follow‑up
   Send a brief thank‑you email within 24 hours, referencing a specific part of the conversation and reiterating your interest.

Quick Confidence Hacks:

• Practice answers aloud.
• Use a short breathing exercise before the call.
• Keep notes handy (bullet points, not full scripts).
