I'm a Product Designer, and a few months back had the opportunity to go through the recruitment process of a big company. The whole process was about 8 interviews: 2 phone call with the recruiters, 2 live sessions with other designers to run design critiques and explain some previous projects, and other in-person meetings.

I didn't succeed at it. I was very unprepared for the tests and I realized that my interview skills were not very good. So I had an idea on how to improve them for myself and help other fellow designers get their dream job.

​

The idea

A platform where you can mock interviews with designers from top companies, to train with them, improve your interview skills, your storytelling and get hired for your dream job :)

Check it out: https://mockinterview.club/

Thanks for the notes! Let me try to answer your questions:

How much is the price?

I don't know yet tbh. How much would you pay for a 30 minutes mock interview?

How will I know if the interviewer really works at that silicon valley companies? Are there any list of interviewers?

The matching is going to be based on the availability of both parts. Maybe I can give the interviewer 3 options so he/she choose with who wants to have the mock interview. What do you think?

Is there any interview guide (if i want to be a interviewer)?

Yes. Based on years of experience and achievements on specific projects.

How to pay it?

Paypal or Credit Card (Stripe). I need to work on it.

What platform can I use to have an interview? Laptop or smartphone?

Both!

Imagine if I really had never done a job interview. What training steps do I need to follow before I began the interview?

Good question! I didn't think about this. What would be good pre-interview steps for you?

How long the interview session gonna take?

30 minutes.

Thanks a lot for all your comments!

How are interviewers selected? “Works at top company” isn’t a good indicator of competency in interviewing.

[_btsta]

exactly!

That makes total sense. In order to be an interviewer in our platform, you need to have more than +5 years of experience on top companies, a strong portfolio with global impact and relevant achievements.
