What does "reliability" mean?
The reliability is based on the number of completed meetings, no-shows, short-term meeting cancellations and whether your partner indicated that you were late for a meeting or left a meeting after the first round. „N/A“ means that we don‘t have enough data about this member to be able to make a statement about her/his reliability.
What does "skilled", "proficient" or "certified“ mean?
The coachee badge is awarded to candidates who have participated in expert coaching sessions (skilled: 1-2, proficient: 3-5, certified: 6+ coachings). If you have also taken part in coaching sessions yourself, this filter helps you to find other qualified candidates.
What is the process of a mock interview? What can I expect?
- Schedule meeting: After you and your interview partner have confirmed the mock interview, the meeting is set and should be visible on your dashboard.
- Communication: We recommend that you contact your interview partner directly to determine the type of communication during the interview (e.g. PrepLounge, Skype) and preferences.
- Interview: During the back-to-back-meeting, you take turns with your interview partner to take the candidate role and the interviewer role.
