Prepare your examples
Pick work examples that show how you handled a practical challenge, collaborated with someone, learned a skill, or responded to feedback. Give the interviewer enough context to understand the problem. Explain your decisions and finish with the outcome or what you learned.
Rehearse with another person if possible. Ask them to flag any point where the story becomes hard to follow. Use notes to remember the examples and speak in your own words.
- Find out who you will meet, the expected duration, and whether you need a work sample.
- Write two questions about the actual work and one about how the team measures progress.
- Prepare a short explanation of why you are considering the position now.
Close the conversation
Ask what the next stage looks like and whether the interviewer needs anything else from you. Make a private note of the questions and anything you promised to send. A concise follow-up can thank the team, mention a useful detail from the conversation and include any requested material.
