🎤 Understanding the Interview Landscape

It important to know what type of interview you are facing and what to expect. You can do this by:

• Checking the job description (sometimes it’s listed)

• Behavioural: To assess how you handled real-life situations in the past. (Tell me about a time...)
• Technical: To test your role-specific knowledge or hands-on ability. (Coding tests, portfolio reviews)
• Situational: To assess your approach to hypothetical work scenarios. (What would you do if...)
• Case Studies / Estimation: To assess your business and strategy toolkit. (Most common in consulting)
• Group / Panel Interviews: To observe how you interact in team settings or with multiple decision-makers.
