About

About InterviewPrep

InterviewPrep is a collection of practical guides for people preparing for job interviews. Each article starts from a specific question candidates really ask, such as how to answer a hard prompt or how long to wait before following up, and answers it directly before going into detail.

The site focuses on the moments where capable people often underperform because their preparation is vague or poorly structured. It also offers a few planning tools, checklists and choosing guides alongside the articles.

InterviewPrep is a research-based reference, not a coaching service: the guides are written from published interview-preparation guidance and checked, and we do not claim professional credentials. See how we check our advice.

What you will find here

• Behavioral questions for building stories and shaping answers.
• Follow-up for thank-you notes and timing.
• Interview basics for preparation fundamentals.
• Interview strategy for choices about examples, recovery and questions to ask.
• Technical interviews for preparing when you are out of practice.
• Tools and guides: a story bank builder, a prep time planner, checklists and choosing guides.

How to read the guides

The guides are general guidance, not a promise of any outcome: no guide can predict how a particular employer will respond, and a good interview does not guarantee an offer. Any dollar figures are rough examples rather than typical or guaranteed amounts. Employment, contract, tax and licensing rules vary by country, state and employer, so check the local rules or ask a qualified professional where it matters for your situation.
