You know the work. Practise explaining your decisions.
In an interview, the other person has not lived through your project. They need to understand the problem, the choices you made and your individual contribution.
A mock gives you a setting to practise that discussion and identify the points to strengthen before the next round.
What fits inside the hour
- The mock
respond to an agreed theme and explain your approach, examples and trade-offs.
- The feedback
review your reasoning, communication and relevant gaps. Leave with priorities for further practice.
The mock and feedback share the one-hour total. The supported theme is confirmed before booking.
Choose a relevant interview discussion
Share the target role and round so technical fit can be assessed.
- Covered: system design, a project retrospective, engineering leadership.
