Hi Friend,
As you know, you will be very well observed and your behavior at all times matter. I consolidated this list of relevant tips, by phase of the Assessment, that can be a bit beyond the normal traditional tips that I believe you can find easily on google, hope it helps:
Group Exercises
- Micro-observation: Bring quieter participants into the conversation to show leadership without dominating.
- Strategic Agreeability: Agree with small points before presenting counterarguments to maintain collaboration.
- Invisible Leadership: Encourage others and guide discussions subtly to display behind-the-scenes leadership. ("Jonny, you as a computer engineer, what do you think SaaS companies would think of this product feature?")
Virtual Reality Exercise
- Pause Before Reacting: Take brief pauses when faced with challenges to display calmness and problem-solving.
- Memory Anchors: Use mental cues to structure your thoughts and approach complex problems systematically.
- Optimize Environment: Ensure your virtual setup is visually appealing and organized for a positive presence.
Case Study/Discussion
- Clarifying Questions: Ask deep, insightful questions before jumping to solutions to show critical thinking (including asking to repeat any point, it can be a plus, believe me)
- Quick Frameworks: Create simple frameworks on the spot to structure your problem-solving approach (have the basics in your head and just adjust them, use words from the problem)
- Personal Stories: Share highly specific and relevant experiences to highlight your unique value (put your story in here)
Technical Assessments and Interviews
- Mindful Self-Awareness: Adjust tone, pace, and formality to balance likability with professionalism.
- Mental Checkpoints: Periodically assess your performance and adjust your behavior to stay balanced.
Body Language: Use subtle physical cues like nodding and hand gestures to appear more engaged in virtual settings.
Hope it helps.
Best,Jose
