How to Prepare for CTO Interviews

The Problem

Scripted answers fall apart under follow-up questions

You can memorize perfect responses to expected questions. But the moment someone asks 'why?' or 'can you elaborate?', the script breaks down.

Real interviews don't follow your outline. They follow the natural flow of conversation—which means unpredictability.

Practicing with static questions doesn't prepare you for the moment when you have to think and respond in real-time.

Why Current Solutions Fail

Why common advice doesn't address the root problem

Confidence tips miss the structural issue

This isn't about confidence. Even confident speakers struggle when there's no conversational partner to create natural rhythm.

Better equipment doesn't fix delivery

A nicer camera and microphone make your monologue look and sound better, but it's still a monologue.

Content templates don't create conversation

Following a format gives you structure but doesn't provide the dynamic questioning that makes interviews engaging.

Understanding the Solution

Why follow-up questions unlock deeper thinking

The best insights don't come from prepared statements—they emerge when someone asks 'why?' or 'tell me more about that.'

Follow-up questions force you to articulate the reasoning behind your initial response. This is where clarity happens.

Solo recording can't replicate this. You need an active participant who responds to what you actually say.
