Targeted Interview Prep and Mock Interviews with Arun Tirumale

Do you take interviews after interviews and feel frustrated that they don't materialize? This session focuses on key aspects of an interview and how to tackle questions. Remember, it's not just what you communicate/respond to during an interview that sets you apart, but 'the how' actually matters! I've been in this boat several times myself and was able to conquer it.

Set up time and learn giving bar-raising interviews. Depending on your needs, I will:

1) Provide Interview Preparation guidance OR

2) Conduct an actual Mock Interview,

focused on competencies below.

My feedback will be candid, transparent and, specifically catered to your needs so that you can discover the depth of your own strengths, blind spots and opportunities. Key interviewing competencies I will focus on are (plus more):

1. Leadership competencies: How do you lead technical orgs while not staying in the weeds: Technical leadership from Individual Contributors (ICs) to Front-line Managers to Executive levels
2. Behavioral competencies: How to elevate yourselves from being a Manager to a Leader: the art of leadership regardless of the type of role (operations, product, engineering, science ...etc.)
3. People development: How to ace interview questions on managing large teams and organizations with bar-raising performances while leading with empathy
4. Organizational Change Management (OCM): How to scale from managing small teams to large organizations; and how do you do it during difficult transitions and situations
5. Agility, Adaptability and Accountability: How to respond, not react, in unchartered and stressful situations; how to make decisions while owing outcomes
6. Trust building: How to delicately balance transparency during crisis situations and maintain trust
