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

I'm an avid technologist who has worked in the web development space for 15+ years. I've had to opportunity to be both a hiring manager and a leader to others who were hiring for their teams. I've conducted 100s of interviews and have personally developed technical interviews for multiple companies. I've coached many engineers on both sides of the interviewing process and know the specific details of what hiring panels are looking for. In addition to conducting an interview I'll also provide specific feedback and resources for what to work on so you can breeze through your next interview!
