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
Over a decade at Amazon, and 200+ interviews conducted as a Bar Raiser across SDE, SDM, PM, TPM, Data Scientist and Solution Architect roles. I also built Amazon's assessment platform, the system running 20M+ candidate evaluations a year and ran backend engineering for Amazon Hire.
I run these the way a real loop runs: 40 minutes of interview with no coaching mid-stream, then 15 minutes of feedback, then written feedback within 24 hours scored against the actual competency bar. Behavioural, system design, or a mix. Most people I rejected at Amazon could have done the job — they lost on how they framed the answer.
