Do Mock Interviews

Interviewing is a skill you get better at the more you do it. One of the best ways to practice is to go through sample questions with friends or colleagues and have them give you feedback. In fact, pick the PM friends you respect most, have the most experience, or interview the most - they’ll give you the best feedback on practice runs! Getting more practice always helps.
Below’s a simple blurb you can send your PM friends to ask them to give you a mock interview. It’s always better to be personal (address them by name) and in your own voice, so please change this to make it your own:
Hey! I’d love to ask for a favor. Would you be up for doing a 30min mock PM interview with me? I’m getting ready to interview, and I’d really value your feedback and advice. What’s your schedule like next week? 🙏 🙌
If you don’t have someone to practice with live, I recommend recording a video of yourself talking through a question, then take a break and watch yourself. While it’s not as good as getting real feedback from an experienced interviewer, it’s better than nothing. The worksheets below include scores for on each question and spaces for your practice answers and your feedback to your self on how you did.
