NII’m a recruiter and I interview for a living. Most people overthink interview prep, but if you only have 60 minutes, here is exactly how to spend them. ⏲️
(comment “jobs” and I’ll share the guide)
Stop “studying” and start strategizing. You don’t need to memorize the company’s entire history; you need to prove you can do the job.
➡️ Here is my 60-Minute Emergency Prep Guide:
1️⃣ 0–15 Mins: The “Pain Point” Deep Dive
Don’t just read the job description—dissect it.
• Identify the top 3 skills they keep mentioning.
• Ask yourself: “What problem is this company trying to solve by hiring for this role?”
• Goal: Align your value with their specific “pain.”
2️⃣ 15–35 Mins: The “Rule of Three” Stories
Forget 20 different scenarios. Pick 3 versatile stories (STAR method) that demonstrate leadership, problem-solving, and technical skill.
• Story 1: A time you saved the day.
• Story 2: A time you handled a conflict or failure.
• Story 3: A major project you’re proud of.
• Pro Tip: These three stories can answer 90% of behavioral questions if you pivot them correctly.
3️⃣ 35–50 Mins: The “Vibe Check” Research
Go to LinkedIn. Look up your interviewers.
• Where did they work before?
• Do you have mutual connections or interests?
• Check the “Recent Posts” section of the company page. Mentioning a post from 48 hours ago makes you look incredibly dialed-in.
4️⃣ 50–60 Mins: The Reverse Interview
The interview isn’t over until you ask questions. Prepare two that make you sound like a leader:
1. “What does ‘success’ look like for this role in the first 90 days?”
2. “How does the team handle [specific industry challenge]?”
