Interview Preparation with

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.

As a Head of Product Design, Research and Service Design I have built many teams and have been hiring on an on-going basis for the last 5 years. Most recently I grew the Omnipresent team from 1 to 10 designers in under a year and before that the Property Finder Product Design Team from 3 to 8. I was also part of MYOB's Design Leadership Team responsible for helping grow the team from 9 to 42 designers in 3 years.

I have done this on my own as well as working with internal and external recruiters and therefore well versed in what hiring managers and recruiters are looking for. I'd love to give you some hints and tricks in how you approach an interview.
