FAQ

Common questions

How far in advance should I start preparing?

For a phone screen, one to two days is usually enough. For a first or second round interview, aim for three to five days of focused preparation. For a final round or executive interview, give yourself at least a week — research depth matters more at that stage.

What makes this checklist personalised?

The checklist combines a universal preparation framework with role-specific items generated by AI based on your job title, company size, and interview stage. A software engineer preparing for a technical round gets different items than a marketing manager preparing for a final round.

Should I prepare differently for startups versus large companies?

Yes. Startup interviews typically test adaptability, ownership, and cultural fit more heavily. Enterprise interviews tend to be more structured with defined competency frameworks. The checklist adapts its suggestions based on the company size you select.

What if I have multiple interview rounds?

Generate a separate checklist for each stage. The items shift significantly between a phone screen and a final round — early stages focus on fundamentals and fit, later stages go deeper on technical ability, leadership, and strategic thinking.
