New grad and early career
Early-career loops know you don't have ten years of war stories. These questions let you use coursework, internships, side projects, and team experiences. Specificity beats seniority.
- 01Ownership of workTell me about the project you're proudest of: school, internship, or personal. What was YOUR contribution?
- 02Teamwork & conflictDescribe a time a team project was going badly because of the team itself. What did you do?
- 03Problem-solving processTell me about a time you were completely stuck on a technical problem. Walk me through how you got unstuck.
- 04Time management & honestyDescribe a deadline you nearly missed or did miss. What happened?
- 05CoachabilityTell me about a piece of critical feedback you got on your work: code review, a grade, a manager. What did you do with it?
- 06Learning agilityDescribe a time you taught yourself a technology or tool to get something done. How did you go about it?
- 07Juggling commitmentsTell me about a commitment you had to balance against school or work: a job, a team, family. How did you manage it?
