Connected with someone who actually hires and understands the market. @coach - Thank you for your inputs. It was a very useful session, and the key takeaway was to keep it simple and drive clarity when talking to the interviewer

It was really nice to have this 1:1 session, it really looked as a real interview with valide questions that could be asked during the process! Was very nice as well to have a few minutes to discuss feedbacks and tips on how to improve the answers :) It felt like a real interview, and I now have enough time to adjust some topics to be enough prepared for the real one.

Eye opening interview in many senses. It really focused on some fundamental things that I was doing wrong. The interviewer guided me and helped me practice these points in the interview itself. She shared useful resources for me to practice later. Thanks for connecting me with the coach. The interview was super useful.

******* was great. She understood my context and gave me personalised tips for my interview. She customised the questions based on relevance for the role I was applying for. She has a lot of knowledge about Amazon LPs. She shared very useful tips about how to think about leadership principles and how to frame the answers. Thanks! The session was great.
