Mock interview with Tyagarajan Sundaresan

I approach interviews as a collaborative brainstorming session—imagine sitting down with a colleague you already work with, solving problems, and showing you can think on your feet. While you're selling yourself, you're also demonstrating that you're a natural fit for the team.

To truly build this muscle, you need confidence and comfort, which only comes with practice. Mock interviews are your training ground.

Here’s how they help:

• Master the cadence: Get comfortable with the rhythm of interviews so you're not thrown off during the real deal.
• Develop frameworks: Learn to establish structured thinking patterns and preparation techniques for different types of interviews.

I offer tailored prep for these interview types and focus areas:

• Resume drill-down: Walk through your experience with confidence and precision.
• Culture fit/Aptitude: Demonstrate alignment with values and leadership principles.
• Strategic thinking: Show off big-picture, unconstrained thinking and tackle assumption-based questions.
• Problem-solving: Sharpen your analytical skills with case studies, estimations, puzzles, and number crunching.
• Case study brainstorming: Collaborate and ideate on real-world product or business problems.
• Product/Business interviews: Think like a builder—designing, fixing, improving, and delivering impactful solutions.

Tell me which of these areas you’d like to prep for, and we’ll create a mock session to help you nail it.
