Mock Interviews with Hiring Managers for Software Engineering Positions

A mock interview is a simulation of an actual job interview that allows candidates to practice their interview skills.

In each mock interview session, we have interviewers involved in hiring processes and hiring decisions, from team members to hiring managers. All interviewers will conduct the mock interview exactly as they do in real life.

Interviewers will provide immediate constructive feedback to the candidates regarding their performance, covering what went well and what could be improved.

Please note: this event will be recorded and posted on our YouTube channel. Therefore, candidates will be participating anonymously to feel safe about their performance and identity.

Each session lasts about 1 hour and 30 minutes total and engages two-three candidates. Each candidate will be interviewed for 30-45 minutes.

The main steps:
1. The interview starts with the basic question, “Tell me about yourself and what did you do in your last project?” The time limit is 4 minutes; therefore, we recommend practicing with timing before the session. You will be cut off after the 4 minutes expire.
2. Follow-up questions from interviewers (25-35 min) and tech/coding challenges.
3. The feedback stage takes 5 minutes.
You can check the previous recordings here to know what to expect.

At the moment, we are hosting mock interviews for Software Dev and QA Engineer (Manual and Automation) positions. Anyone with a valid resume can participate.

For graduates:
Graduates from any school/college are welcomed to participate. Even if you don’t have prior experience, you can show school/independent projects.

Warning: We do not accept candidates with resumes that include feigned experience. Please make sure to remove all dishonest info before sending your resume. Our experts perform a background check to spot dishonest claims.
