Guides
Three guides that cover an interview from the moment the invitation arrives to the thank-you note you send afterward.
The week before · about 9 minutes
A plain plan for the days between the invitation and the handshake: reading the posting closely, learning about the employer, shaping a handful of stories, rehearsing aloud, and sorting out the small details of the day itself.
What they ask, and why · about 9 minutes
The questions that turn up in almost every interview, what the person asking is really trying to learn, and a simple way to build honest answers you can deliver in about a minute.
On camera, at home · about 9 minutes
How to set up your camera, light and sound, what to do before the call begins, how to come across well on screen, and what to do if the connection drops halfway through an answer.
Open the preparation guide and work through its five-evening plan, squeezing two evenings together if you need to.
Go to the common questions guide and find the table row for it, then build your answer from the approach column.
Read the video guide and book a practice call with a friend for the day before.
Tell us which guide fits and we will point you to it. The text box on the request form is optional and starts unticked; the guides themselves are always open on this site.
