Interview Tips

Small changes make a big difference. Use this checklist to show up calm, clear, and prepared.

Do a warm-up questionLearn STAR Method

The 15-minute pre-interview routine

  1. 1. Read the role requirements and pick 2 strengths to emphasize.
  2. 2. Review 3 STAR stories (leadership, conflict, impact).
  3. 3. Say your 30-second intro out loud once.
  4. 4. Do 1 Rapid Practice question to warm up.
Most people over-prepare content and under-prepare delivery. The warm-up fixes that.

Quick setup

  • - Camera at eye level
  • - Light facing you
  • - Notes near the top of the screen
  • - Water nearby
If you enable camera coaching, setup affects stability.

During the interview

  • - Ask one clarifying question before answering.
  • - Start with your main point, then details.
  • - Use short pauses instead of filler words.
  • - End with an outcome or next step.
A strong opener: “My approach is…”
A strong closer: “The result was…, and I learned…”

After the interview

  • - Write down 3 questions you got and how you answered.
  • - Pick one answer to improve and re-answer it once.
  • - Save the question so you can revisit it.
Progress comes from review. Use Session History to see patterns and fix them.
