Interview Preparation

A practical approach to walking into any interview ready.

Before the interview

  • Research the company's products, recent news and the specific team you'd be joining
  • Re-read the job description and map your experience to each requirement
  • Prepare 3–4 stories from your experience you can adapt to different behavioural questions
  • Prepare your own questions — interviews go both ways

Answering behavioural questions

A simple structure — situation, task, action, result — keeps your answers focused. Start with just enough context to make the story make sense, spend most of your time on what you actually did, and always close with the outcome, even if it was a partial success or a lesson learned.

On the day

  • Test your tech setup ahead of any video interview
  • Have a copy of your resume and the job description in front of you
  • It's fine to pause and think before answering — a considered answer beats a rushed one
