  • The different parts of an interview

  • How to use the STARR method

Reminders

  • An interview is just a conversation

  • An interview is about how you fit with the company

  • Interviewing is a skill that requires practice

  • You are better than you think!

What is an interview?

An interview is an opportunity for both the company and you to get to know each other to see if you are a fit. The interview will cover anything from values, projects, future plans, failures, and ideas you may have for the company which is why it’s very important for you to prepare before the interview so it’s not the first time you think or talk about it.

An important reminder is that each interview answer should aim to show the company why you are the best candidate for the job so you should always end each answer with a sentence on why it would benefit the company to hire you. This way they know upfront and don’t have to connect the dots as to why you are a great fit!

How to Prepare

The first and most important part of the interview is the preparation that you put into it. If you are new to interviewing, you should aim to practice behavioral interviews at least 30-min a day and do at least one technical problem. The following are some resources that you can start with
