INTERVIEW PREP
Go Beyond Generic Interview Advice
Interviewing is a skill. Anyone can vaguely describe what it entails: Research the company, practice common questions, dress appropriately, and prepare success stories from your past experience formatted according to the STAR method.
This is good advice, but it's generic.
We combine information from your resume, the job description, the employer’s hiring guidance, and known selection practices to provide more focused preparation.
| What We Identify | Where We Find It | What to Prepare |
|---|---|---|
| Main role competencies | Job description | One achievement story per competency |
| Company values | Company website | Examples matching those values |
| Interview format | Employer hiring page or recruiter email | Behavioral, technical, case or presentation practice |
| Possible weaknesses | Gaps between CV and job description | Honest explanation plus transferable evidence |
We also provide prep materials for many pre-employment assessments used by major companies, including SHL, Hogan, and Predictive Index.

What Leading Companies Are Looking for in an Interview
With most companies, you can get a strong sense of the qualities they're looking for by reading the company values and mission statement and reviewing the job description.
The best companies, whose hiring practices are often emulated by other businesses, actually tell you how they interview - if you know where to look.
Here are several examples:
Google says its interviews may include questions about your past experience as well as hypothetical situations. Interviewers may look at role knowledge, problem-solving, and leadership.
Google also stresses that your reasoning can matter as much as your final answer. Be ready to explain how you reached a conclusion, respond to follow-up questions, and give clear examples of how you have used your skills.

Microsoft
Microsoft advises candidates to prepare specific examples showing how their experience fits the role. It highlights qualities such as collaboration, adaptability, judgment, customer focus, and the ability to deliver results.
For experience-based questions, Microsoft recommends the STAR(R) method: Situation, Task, Action, Result, and Reflection. Candidates should also explain their thought process, ask clarifying questions, state their assumptions, and be honest when they do not know something.
For technical roles, interviews may also cover coding, system design, testing, and technical problem-solving.
Amazon
Amazon says candidates usually meet several interviewers, with each person focusing on different parts of their experience and suitability for the role.
Its preparation materials place strong emphasis on the Leadership Principles and the STAR method. Candidates should prepare detailed examples involving achievements, challenges, risks, failures, and professional growth, using measurable results where possible.
For senior software-engineering roles, Amazon also assesses coding and system design.

NVIDIA
NVIDIA’s guidance focuses mainly on the interview format. Candidates may meet hiring managers, future teammates, and employees from other departments by phone, video, or in person.
Interviews may be one-to-one, in small groups, or with a panel. Technical candidates may also complete a coding task using HackerRank, a whiteboard, or a computer.
Because the process varies by team and role, NVIDIA recommends confirming the expected stages with the recruiter. It also warns candidates not to use unapproved AI tools during the interview.

Salesforce
Salesforce advises candidates to study the job description, connect their experience directly to the role, and research their interviewers before the meeting.
It recommends using the STAR method, rehearsing presentations, preparing thoughtful questions, and showing genuine interest in the opportunity. Salesforce also encourages candidates to respond positively to feedback and send a follow-up thank-you message.
AI can be used for preparation, but Salesforce says candidates should not use it during the interview unless specifically permitted.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is preparation for the hiring steps after you apply, including interviews, cognitive tests, personality tests, SJT tests, and other job assessments.
STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action, and Result. These four elements represent a widely used format for presenting success stories during interviews: provide background, explain how you defined your task and goals, detail what actions you took to achieve them, and describe the results.
To use STAR effectively, prepare an "interview evidence bank" full of examples you can naturally pull out during the interview. These can include:
- a major achievement;
- a difficult problem;
- a conflict or disagreement;
- a mistake or failure;
- leadership without formal authority;
- adapting to uncertainty or change.
Ideally, your examples should match the company values or required competencies of your potential employer.
For each example, record what the situation was, what your responsibility was, actions you personally took, the measurable outcomes, what you learned for your future work, and which competency this case demonstrates.
You confirm which roles you applied to after receiving matched jobs.
