Hi Scooba Steve, what do you write in your little notebook during these kinds of interview?
Yes, I need to ensure I sound as true senior-level to give the interviewers the right seniority signals.
1. Decode questions deeply 2. Answer question fast 3. Pause+ Checkpoint instead of ramble
How do your recommendations to keep answers short and to the point (around 11:35) reconcile with the STAR method and others? I've heard people recommend taking a few minutes to fully answer a question, going through the Situation, Task, etc. which is more like providing background before answering the actual question. Are you suggesting to flip this around somewhat?
Also hit academic probation for uc davis. I think like 2x. Somehow still passed. But took longer to grad and average outcomes vs just going to state school.

Just in time. I've been interviewing for past 1-2 months and haven't gotten to any final rounds. Only 2nd rounds at most for say 10+ interviews.

Perfect timing!😊 I’m currently preparing for interviews, and this was incredibly insightful.
This is a great course!! If people can nail what you're teaching here, they'll progress so much further in interviews
Your videos are always so helpful, thank you!
Excellent format
