Your past experiences are your greatest asset. Here's how to use them effectively during behavioural interview round in a product management interview.
The advice to prepare 5-7 versatile stories rather than a unique story for every question is game-changing for interview prep efficiency. Most candidates burn out trying to memorize dozens of scenarios. The point about using 'I' not 'we' is critical - I've seen too many strong candidates undersell their contributions by hiding behind team language. One addition: record yourself on video, not just audio. Body language and eye contact are half the battle in behavioral rounds.
The 'wing it' part, so true. Is over-prepp a thing? Brilliant.
Over-prep is always better than no-prep. :)
Very nicely written

like the video idea. Once people actually see their own body language and eye contact on screen, it’s hard to unsee and they improve fast
