      I interviewed at MIT

      Interview

      It was pretty chill. The most challenging aspect is that you can’t know for sure exactly what a hiring manager is going to ask you. Instead of trying to memorize hundreds of possibilities, focus on your skills and experiences and compare them to the job posting. Analyze ways you can reframe your stories as experiences that set you up to be the ideal candidate for the role. Then, use the following sample interview questions to help streamline your preparation.
