Interview Prep

Getting the interview is the hard part. Losing it because you weren’t ready for the format is the avoidable part. A 20-minute phone screen, a one-way video recording, a panel of four people and a take-home assignment each test something different, and each one has its own way to trip you up.

These guides walk you through every stage of a modern hiring process, in order. Start with the phone screen, where most candidates get filtered out in the first ten minutes. Then prepare for AI-scored and video interviews, which more companies now use before a human ever sees you. Finish with the follow-up, because a sharp thank-you email still separates two close candidates.

You’ll also find help for the parts nobody talks about: calming interview nerves, what to wear when the invite says “smart casual,” what to do when a company goes silent after round three, and when to push back on a fifth round.

Pick the guide that matches your next interview and spend 30 minutes on it the day before. That beats three hours of general reading a week out.
