Step-by-step structured response frameworks for the 5 most common types of interview questions:

• "Why do you Want to Work Here?" (or "Why do you want this job?" or "Why should I hire you?")

And I had it right in front of me for my big interview (printed and as my desktop wallpaper to be sure). It's cheaper than a sandwich in SF, so it was a no-brainer for me."

About me (Coach Erika)

My mission is to help 10 million people land their dream jobs.

As a hiring manager at Big Tech and unicorn startups, I've conducted thousands of First-Round interviews. In November '20, I became an interview coach.

My candidates were scoring offers left and right, with 93% of them landing their dream jobs after as few as 3-5 sessions with me.

The word got out, and I was soon overwhelmed by hundreds of candidates asking for my help 1:1. That's when I decided to package my tools and frameworks and make them available to more people.
