Prepare for interviews · Behavioral mock interview
George is an exceptionally good mentor, can definitely recommend working with him. He helped me getting the core of my stories for the behavioral interview in a shape that clearly corresponded to the staff level role that I was applying for. This in turn also boosted my confidence going into the interview later. Still waiting for a reply, but I can already say that with that preparation I felt well prepared during the interview.
