How to prep for our interviews: actually useful version
Interviews don’t have to feel like a pop quiz you forgot to study for. A little prep goes a long way-and no, we’re not talking about memorizing your entire resume. Here’s a solid, human-friendly checklist to help you show up sharp, curious, and ready to have a real conversation.
1. Research us (Yes, really. Please)
Take a few minutes to look us up—our site, blog, LinkedIn, all that jazz. What do we actually do? Who are our users? What problems are we solving?
Why it matters:
You’ll walk into the interview knowing what you’re getting into—and it shows. It’s like checking the map before a road trip. Helps avoid wrong turns.
2. Prepare smart questions (not just “what’s the culture like?”)
Good questions say a lot. They show you’re engaged and thinking beyond just the job title.
Suggestions:
- “How is the team structured?” (Tells us you care about collaboration.)
- “What are the main problems you're solving now—and what’s next?”
(Shows you’re thinking ahead.) - “What does success look like here 3–6 months in?” (Yep, long-term vibes.)
3. Check Your Tech
A quick 5-minute setup check can make all the difference.
- Camera on – face-to-face helps us connect.
- Platform ready – we use Zoom or Teams, so test it early.
- Quiet space – so we hear you, not background chaos.
Easy, simple, and saves everyone from “Can you hear me now?” moments.
4. Be clear and to the point
We love a good story - but make it focused. Think less stream-of-consciousness, more highlights reel.
Tips:
- Lead with the result. Then add context.
- Use numbers or examples (metrics speak louder than buzzwords).
- Stay concise. If we need more detail, we’ll ask.
This helps us see the real you—your impact, your approach, your wins.
Final Note: Preparation = Confidence
We’re not looking for polished perfection. But showing up prepared tells us you respect the process—and the people behind it. That matters.
Come curious, come ready to talk about your work, and don’t be afraid to ask real questions. The best interviews feel like conversations, not interrogations.
