5 Uncommon Interview Tips for Product People

Join Tokes for our next ProductTank Wellington event!

"I've interviewed over 500 product people and reviewed 1000s of applications!

OK, that's a lie, it's probably closer to 60 interviews 100s of applications but it highlights this free bonus tip; go easy on the hyperbole! You're in NZ and we lean in to keeping it real! Be proud of what you've achieved but talk more about what it took to get there, what you learnt and less time exaggerating the results :)

With that in mind, it matters less about how many interviews I've done or applications I've looked at, and much more about what I've seen and heard that made some candidates rise above the others. And that's what I'm going to share with ya'll.

So, whether you're going for a Product Owner or Chief Product Officer role, you'll hopefully find something amongst these less common tips to make an excellent first impression."
