Andrey helped me prepare for the behavioral part of the interview at a TIER1 company. In just one session, I improved my ability to answer questions using the STAR format. It was important for me to learn how to summarize a situation using STAR in 1-2 minutes. And even though I used cases I had already worked out, there was still room for improvement. The feedback Andrey gave me was constructive and useful on the one hand, and very accurate and polite on the other. In addition to practicing the STAR model, Andrey gave me several other valuable tips and recommendations. I like that he approaches sessions not as a task, such as “working out answers to behavioral questions,” but rather gets to the core of the situation and helps achieve personal career goals. As a result of the interview that Andrey prepared me for, I received good feedback, specifically on the behavioral part. Moreover, I used the skills and knowledge I gained in subsequent interviews. I can confidently recommend Andrey!
Session: Mock interview
5 out of 5 stars
Andrey was extremely professional. I had a mock interview with me for System Designs. He took his time to understand my background and goals. The explained well how interviewers use the SD interview to rank seniority of candidates and how to properly showcase my seniority during the interviews. The feedback was clear, the content was deep, the execution and deliver of the session was flawless. It was perfectly tuned to my level and my needs. He was even able to come up with a question relevant to the company I will apply, and it is a non-faang company with a very niche product.
