Interview Strategy and Professional Branding

Getting Interview:

• Part 1: Identifying your targets

• Part 2: Resume/LinkedIn

  • Attract recruiters
  • Sell you throughout the interview process

• All teams and projects in big companies are not created equal

• Look for high valued teams, cutting edge technologies, better stock refreshers, paid more etc.

• When hiring committee discusses the candidates, they have already passed technical and behavioral tests… and there could be many candidates. So getting into big company should not be the goal, but getting into the right team is more important.

• Use the tier2 companies to shorten the path to getting into tier1 companies.

• Researching your targets (what to prepare for)

• How to apply (LinkedIn SEO)

• Recruiter Communication (Common RPS patterns) If recruiter stops communicating:

  • Position closed
  • Recruiter made a mistake
  • You did not sell yourself well. This should never happen

• Identify common behavioral patterns

• Behavioral Interview structure and strategy

• Other behavioral assessments (best practices during technical interviews)

• Performance Audits

  • As you get more experience with interviews, you learn more. Ensure Exponential growth
  • Identify areas to prioritize for additional prep.
  • Drive strategic coaching sessions and mock interviews

• Offer & Negotiation
