Interview Preparation 101 with Pratik Mahale

Stop going into interviews hoping for the best. Start walking in with a strategy.

Landing an interview is hard, but converting it into an offer is where most candidates struggle. Whether you are battling "interview nerves," struggling to explain your career gaps, or failing to articulate your technical impact, this session is designed to turn your anxiety into confidence.

What we will cover:

1. The "Tell Me About Yourself" Masterclass: Crafting a 90-second pitch that hooks the recruiter instantly.
2. The STAR+ Method: Moving beyond basic answers to storytelling that highlights your specific ROI (Return on Investment) to a company.
3. Decoding Job Descriptions: Learning how to spot the "hidden" questions an interviewer is actually asking.
4. Reverse Interviewing: Identifying high-level questions for the employer that make you look like a leader, not just an applicant.
5. Live Feedback: A mini-mock segment where I provide "brutally honest" but constructive feedback on your tone, pace, and content.

This is for you if:

1. You’re getting interviews but no follow-up calls.
2. You feel "stuck" when asked behavioral or situational questions.
3. You are pivoting industries and need to translate your past experience effectively.
