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 mentor who has conducted multiple 1-on-1 design interviews, portfolio reviews, and design challenges, I can tailor this interview to suit your interviewing needs. You can choose the sample interview to be structured as 1 of the following:

1. 1-on-1 Behavioral Interview
2. Portfolio Review
3. Design Challenge

We will spend the first half of the session simulating 1 of the 3 interview formats and the second half of the session on feedback and questions on how to improve.
