Interview Prep
Resume reviews, SQL screens, product cases, behavioural.
Resume that gets shortlisted: what a recruiter actually reads in 8 seconds
A resume isn't read carefully at first, it's scanned fast. Knowing what a recruiter's eye actually catches in those first few seconds changes how you should write every line.
Product sense framework: a repeatable structure for 'how would you improve X'
Open-ended product questions don't reward improvisation. A simple, repeatable structure, walked through out loud, outperforms a great idea with no visible process.
Salary negotiation: the offer stage is not the moment to just say yes
The single highest-payoff conversation in a job search is also the one most people skip out of discomfort. A short, concrete playbook fixes most of that.
Behavioural interviews: doing STAR well, not just knowing the acronym
Everyone's heard of STAR. Almost nobody uses it to tell a story an interviewer actually remembers an hour later, usually because the Result gets rushed.
SQL screening patterns: the small set of shapes every interview reuses
SQL interview questions feel endless because the business scenario keeps changing. The underlying technique repeats constantly. Recognize the pattern, and you're filling in a template.
Business case structure: the skeleton every case question shares
Case questions vary wildly in topic, but almost all of them share the same underlying skeleton: clarify, break it into parts, estimate, then recommend.
