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 a nine year Trust & Safety veteran - having created and led incident management/command work at the biggest tech companies in the world.
Additionally, I've conducted over 100 interviews and am passionate about improving people's resume writing and interviewing skills. I have personally helped 4 friends earn roles at Alphabet, and worked with dozens of others via Google's "Grow with Google" program.
I focus on understanding and explaining your impact and showcasing what you can offer as a full professional and not just the sum of your past working experiences or companies.
