1️⃣ MOCK INTERVIEW WITH THE COMPANY - Most people do not even know this is possible. What if I told you, you could literally do practice interviews with the company you’re about to interview with. - I have gotten practice interviews from Google, McKinsey, Microsoft and more…the key is leveraging alumni. - Filter on LinkedIn: Your School or Current Company + Location + Company (you’re interviewing at) + Role (you’re interviewing for). Then reach out over LinkedIn or Email. - My template: “Hi X! My name is Sean, I am a [student at X school] OR [currently at X company]. I have a first round at [insert company] for [insert role]. If you have capacity, I’d love to chat about your experience in the role and any interview tips.” —> convert this to a mock, school alum are especially willing to help. 2️⃣ COPY ANSWERS THAT WORK - I mean this quite literally. Copy the structure, the narratives, the storytelling style that already works for the industry + role you’re interviewing for, don’t try to reinvent the wheel. - Do this by watching YouTube videos on channels like Exponent and Rocketblocks. Then, copy the structure (not exact words). - Next level hack: do mock interviews with people who have landed the job before. Then ask them what worked for them then COPY it. - Even more next level: put all of your preparation into ChatGPT then ask it to help you practice. Since the information you give it is based on what already works, you get to practice with a “winning playbook”. 3️⃣ JOIN SECRET COMMUNITIES - Leverage secret communities on Slack and Discord for interview prep. Hear about what jobs are hiring, exchange interview information and schedule interview prep sessions. - IYKYK: some communities I have used are Lewis Lin Slack Channel, Product Haven, and Tech Interview Prep Discord. - These communities are honestly such a cheat code and so so helpful in prepping for interviews.

here’s how i learned how to code 👩🏻‍💻👐🏼 even though this process can really be applied to learning anything new. at the start of the semester, i told myself i wanted to at least understand basic programming. you don’t need to know coding in biotech but i thought it’d be a useful skill to have to expand with. i’m still a beginner but now i can actually read code (on a basic level), use functions, and write simple programs. with the help of ai, there’s so much potential for coding beyond that. the best day to start was yesterday so start now ✨

How to prep for an interview in under 1 hour ✅ Send yourself this post so you don’t lose it. 1️⃣ (10 min) Do a gap analysis: Copy the job description from the advert and paste into a google doc. Form there highlights the bullet points you have (blue) vs don’t have (red) from the job description. Under each one of the ones you have, add examples when you showed those skills (ex: managed an event). For the ones you don’t have, add anything that could complement that skill. 2️⃣ (10 min) Research the company: Don’t just skim the website - dig deeper. Use ChatGPT or Perplexity with a prompt like: “I’m interviewing for [Company] for a [Role]. Tell me everything I need to know for the interview. What are the top priorities and challenges for [Company] in 2025?” Look for product launches, leadership updates, recent news, and how they make money. Show you understand their world. 3️⃣(10 min) Find the likely questions: Head to Glassdoor and look for real interview questions from that company. Then put together in a doc the 10 most common behavioral questions to start preparing for them (like: Tell me about a time you failed). Pro tip: Don’t memorize - just prepare one story you can flex across a few questions. 4️⃣ (20 min) Practice your answers: For behavioral interview questions use STARL: Situation, Task, Action, Result - and what you Learned. To prepare, use tools like Google Interview Warmup or ChatGPT to test your answers. Prompt idea: “Give me feedback on this answer using the STARL method. Here’s the question and here’s my answer…” 5️⃣ (10 min) Prep 3–5 smart questions to ask them: Asking food questions is key. Aim for: 2 role-specific (show you understand the day-to-day). 2 company-specific (prove you did your research). This is your chance to show you’re not just job hunting - you’re intentional. You got this 💪 🔥If you want a cheat sheet to prepare for interviews, just comment INTERVIEW below 😉 #jobapplication #jobsearch #jobhunt #jobopportunity #interviewtips #interviewquestions #interviewprep #interview #bigtech #jobseeker

Number 2 fixes a huge mistake. For everyone asking how I prepared for my interviews, these 3 strategies took me to the next level. 1. Feynman technique: write a 1-2 sentence summary per each problem solved and keep track of things in a spreadsheet. this will force your brain to think how to simplify things and will help you remember it later on 2. Chunking: this is a massive mistake people make - don’t jump between problem types. stick with one at a time and this will allow your brain to pick up on the underlying pattern and deeply understand it 3. Top problems: do the 50 most frequently asked questions for the company in the weeks leading up to the interview. if you’re lucky you might get asked one. #softwareengineering #computerscience #compsci #faang

Struggling to turn interview calls into job offers? 🤔 It’s not luck. It’s how you answer the interview questions. ❌ STOP giving generic answers. ✅️ Instead, mention numbers, impact, and real examples. Your answers should show how you solve problems and add value.
