How to Prepare for Design lead Interviews
Mock interviews need unpredictability to be useful
Practicing with a list of questions you wrote yourself defeats the purpose. You already know what's coming.
Real interviews have unexpected angles, tough follow-ups, and moments where you have to think on your feet.
To actually improve, you need something that reacts to what you say—not a static script.
The problem with current workarounds
Pre-written scripts sound rehearsed
Even well-written scripts feel like presentations, not conversations. The natural rhythm is missing.
Recording alone forces monologues
Without someone to respond to your points, you lose the dynamic pacing that keeps viewers engaged.
Booking guests or co-hosts kills momentum
By the time you coordinate schedules, the moment of inspiration is gone. You end up not recording at all.
What makes interviews work: The feedback loop
Good interviews don't follow a script—they follow a structure created by real-time response.
Each answer leads to a new question. Each question sharpens the next response. This loop is what makes content feel alive.
When you record solo, this loop is missing. Olyetta restores it.
