Technical Questions (tailored to this role): 1. "Walk me through how you'd architect a real-time dashboard that updates every 500ms with financial data. What React patterns would you use?" → STAR hint: Describe a similar project. Focus on WebSocket handling, React.memo/useMemo for performance, and error states. 2. "How do you approach accessibility in data-heavy UIs? Give an example of making a chart screen-reader friendly." → STAR hint: Reference WCAG 2.1 AA. Mention aria-live regions for real-time updates and keyboard navigation. 3. "Tell me about a time you mentored a junior developer through a complex feature." → STAR hint: Use STAR.

Different rounds test different things. Here's what to expect and where ApplyArc helps most.
Tests past behaviour as predictor of future performance. 'Tell me about a time...' questions.
How ApplyArc helps: ApplyArc generates STAR frameworks mapped to your actual experience. Draft 3 stories that flex across multiple questions: leadership, conflict, failure, and initiative.
Tests problem-solving and domain knowledge. Whiteboards, take-homes, or live coding.
How ApplyArc helps: Our tool generates role-specific technical questions from the job posting. Good for predicting which frameworks and tools they'll ask about. Won't replace LeetCode practice for algorithm rounds.
Tests strategic thinking. Common in consulting, PM, and senior roles. You get a scenario and walk through your approach.
How ApplyArc helps: ApplyArc flags case study likelihood based on role type and seniority level. We generate practice scenarios and suggest frameworks (MECE, Porter's Five Forces) where relevant.
Multiple interviewers at once. Tests how you handle different perspectives and maintain composure under pressure.
How ApplyArc helps: Coach generates questions from each likely panel member's perspective: hiring manager, peer, skip-level. We also suggest questions to ask that show cross-team awareness.
AI interview prep is powerful, but it's not a substitute for everything.
We generate questions and frameworks. We don't simulate a back-and-forth conversation with a virtual interviewer. Use the questions with a friend or record yourself.
For coding interview prep (LeetCode-style), you still need dedicated practice platforms. We'll tell you which topics to focus on based on the job description though.
Our AI predicts likely questions based on the JD and role type. The actual interviewer might go off-script. Treat our output as a prep guide, not a cheat sheet.
Nothing beats actual interviews for building confidence. We get you prepared faster, but the reps still matter. Apply broadly and treat early interviews as practice rounds.
Got an interview tomorrow? Here's how to prep in 30 minutes flat using ApplyArc.
Over 60% of first-round interviews happen on video now. The prep is different from in-person meetings. Here is what catches people out and how to avoid each mistake.
Check your camera angle, microphone, and internet connection. Use the platform's test call feature if available. Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet all have one. Technical issues in the first 2 minutes set the wrong tone.
Notifications kill focus. A Slack ping mid-answer looks unprofessional. Close email, messaging apps, and anything that might pop up. Put your phone on silent and face-down.
Not at the screen. Not at yourself. At the camera lens. This feels unnatural but it is the only way to make eye contact on video. Stick a small note next to your webcam as a reminder.
Stick your STAR answer bullet points on a Post-it near your camera. Glancing at key words is fine. Reading full sentences is obvious. The interviewer can tell the difference.
Your job notes, cover letter, and company research are all there. If the interviewer asks something unexpected, you can glance at your notes between questions without shuffling papers.
Standing up unexpectedly happens. Deliveries, pets, housemates. It only takes one incident to become a cautionary tale. Business appropriate from head to toe.
