About this session

Interview preparation is about showing up with clarity, confidence, and a strong sense of how to present your experience. This MentorCruise session is designed to help you prepare for upcoming interviews in a practical, personalized way, whether you are early in your career, making a transition, or aiming for a more competitive role.

You’ll work with an experienced mentor to sharpen your story, improve your answers, and get ready for the questions that matter most. Together, you can practice mock interviews, refine how you talk about your background, prepare for technical or behavioral rounds, and identify the areas that need the most work. The goal is to help you walk into the interview feeling more prepared, more polished, and more confident in your ability to stand out.

Your mentor

As a hiring manager at Microsoft with over 20 years of experience, I have interviewed over 500 people, hired hundreds over the course of my career.
I can help provide critical and actionable feedback on your System Design/Behavioral/Coding Interview readiness and help you ace that.

Even before my first day, she helped me level up by identifying specific technical areas to focus on and providing a key book recommendation that set the right mindset. Once I started, she helped me cut through the noise to identify where I could make the most immediate impact. We established personal milestones together to ensure I was consistently demonstrating value to my new team. She has also helped me manage a challenging situation because I am starting on a team without a manager. Her experience as a technical leader helped me work through the relationship with my skip-level manager and tackle the political and technical challenges that come with that territory. I truly enjoy our conversations, as she possesses both excellent expertise and a wonderful personality. If you are an engineer looking for great advice on how to manage your career, I cannot recommend her enough. ”
