I’m thinking of using Rocketblocks, is it any good? Any other recommended prep materials?
Thanks.

Hi there,
I think this is an interesting question that may be relevant for many people. I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:
If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to address your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Hello,
For fit preparation, you need to do the following:
1) Prepare written + structured + clear answers to a bunch of fit questions
2) Practice these answers to the extent that you remember them + make sure the answers sound genuine (not mechanical)
For both 1 and 2, you need to apply your personal efforts, and seek the efforts of peers/coaches to practice with. I do not think it is worth to use any online platform for fit.
If you need a coach to give you access to difficult fit questions, practice with you and give you feedback, i am happy to help!

Hi there,
Do NOT use rocketblocks for frameworking. (they're really bad at it)
DO NOT use rocketblocks for fit practice.
DO use rocketblocks for charts/exhibits. (They're “the best” at it)
For fit interviews use human beings. Online resources are mostly a waste here…fit/behavioral interviews are about you talking to the interviewer. As such, get friends/colleagues/coaches to actually ask you those questions live and practice your answers.
Here's some fit reading (but again, please practice live and outloud with people): https://www.preplounge.com/en/articles/tell-me-about-yourself-interview-question
Hi there,
I would read a proper guide on fit interviews (e.g., my book where I cover this topic extensively), prepare your answers, then practice fit interviews with peers based on the criteria and types of questions (general and difficult ones).
You want to practice with challenging mock interviewers that monitor your delivery, content, and structure.
All the best,
Florian
Hi there,
Short answer, no, would not recommend to use stated resource for fit - there are much better ones out there, also here on the platform.
Instead, suggest you consider the following points for more targeted prep..
Hope this helps. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to learn more how you can stand out with your fit answers as a candidate.
Cheers, Andi
Hi there,
For personal fit, using a platform or reading materials is a good starting point.
The next level is practicing with friends, family and other candidates.
The final level and the one that increases your success rates the most is actually practicing with a coach. Then you'll get to understand what does and what doesn't actually work so you can calibrate it before the actual interview.
