Thanks ******* for your time and feedback

Mock interviews are the best way to prepare but it's hard to find experienced people to mock with so Prepfully is really useful.

I had a behavioral interview with ******* and it was very helpful for me to get feedback on how I'm performing and where I can improve. He has great communication skills and very good at giving feedback straight to the face what he felt went well and where I really need to focus on. 

Definitely quite relevant to the interview process specific to the company I'm applying to

Thank you for doing this, the feedback and suggestions you provided were very thorough and helpful!

very similar environment and insightful feedback to improve

Great product

overall it was good session

great experience

Coach is extremely knowledgeable, prepared, and insightful. He had useful "stock knowledge" that he equipped me with that I'm sure he gives out to most everyone, but was also sensitive and responsive to my particular situation and stories.

Thanks for your coaching!

I really appreciate all your great feedback!

Thanks for helping me refine answers, and good constructive feedback.

feedback was good

Hi! Thanks for spending the time with me. And looking forward to booking another session with you. The mock interview is helpful to me. 

*******'s coaching session proved incredibly valuable. He structured the exercise to simulate a real interview, offering continuous feedback and guidance throughout. It's great that he reserved time at the end of the session for interview summary. *******'s insights were not only well-structured but also immediately applicable, letting me know how to do better for future interviews. ******* is a experienced and effective coach for anyone seeking interview advice. The interview coaching session provided an immersive experience, replicating the stress and opportunities for learning inherent in real interviews. What sets it apart is the invaluable opportunity for candidates to receive actionable feedback, which is rare in actual interviews.

Thank you for the session, the feedback was actionable and gave me concrete areas to focus on improving! Really good breadth of types of coaches! There is not a one size fits all so the variety is important to calibrate my performance 

The coach provided very targeted feedback and actionable suggestions on how to improve

Thank you so much for your help. You intertwined a coach's perspective in what felt like a real interview. Above all, I really appreciated the transparency and honesty. That is valuable. I hope to work with you again! The user journey or "flow" of this service is nice/simple. E.g., I like that I don't really even need a login for this

Top quality coaches. The guidance the coach provided was really helpful.

Good set of qualified coaches. Platform organized well with event reminders, relevant session links, etc

Your feedback was very insightful. Thank you.

Thank you for conducting a very realistic behavioral interview with me. I appreciated both the tactical feedback and the framework level suggestions on how to prepare in general. I was matched with a high quality coach that gave me a realistic simulation of what a real interview would be like. He also gave both tactical and framework level feedback for me to be successful.

Took ML system design mock with the coach. Received high quality feedback. Booked multiple sessions with this coach; strongly recommend.

great suggestions that were pointed, accurate and helpful.

Thank you for your time. I found it to be invaluable and very relevant advice. I appreciate that you are willing to work with others such as myself. Cheers I feel much more confident and have a much better idea of what to expect going forward in my job search. 

The coach was very good quality. I'll be booking more sessions. Thanks!

Had ML system design mock with coach. Received high quality fb

So far it's a good experience for me. I've always been matched to very good coaches. Thanks!

Got very good feedback for ML system design mock, coach really knows what hiring managers look for.

The coach I worked with met my expectations and could answer my questions. They prepared me well for my upcoming interview.

My interviewer used good questions and had actionable feedback

Coach provided valuable real time feedback. And pointed towards the areas of improvement.

Thanks coach for the insightful session today. I appreciate his constructive suggestions on how I can improve.

 Great session, will book another if I can find us a slot

Thank you coach. I found the sessions very helpful. Directed questions on behavioral patterns and the coach provided great feedback in the end. Total interview took about 45 minutes and last 10 minutes were spent on feedback.

You are a great coach, thanks! It's great experience, high-quality coach, and  helpful suggestions and feedback!

Overall it is a good practice experience for me, in the meantime expect Coach to ask more in-depth ML questions.

Had an amazing mock session. The questions asked were spot-on, challenging yet incredibly insightful, helping me identify areas for improvement. The feedback given was clear, concise, and super helpful, making it easy to understand and act on. Thanks for the great guidance!

- I like that I'm able to select as many slots as possible during scheduling. - I like that there are options on the specific topics and specific companies - it's pricy - but makes sense why, the value I got from just one session was awesome - it would be better to know where the couches are from (in terms of work experience) e.g. US, Bay area, Europe etc. Eg this coach is from the US which would have been nice to know since I am interviewing in London

thanks Coach for all the great tips and pointing out my mistakes as well as suggesting what I could have done better.

******* provided invaluable feedback on the lack of depth on my stories. He was also really familiar with the process.

Thanks for the structural feedback and what can be improved upon.

That was exactly what I was expecting. Thorough interview in the exact setting by a competent interviewer who has done it many times.

Really appreciate your help!

The coached provided very relevant guidance.

The coach shared a couple of examples of interviews and discussed the tradeoffs, found the conversation very useful

Good session.

Good coach. I'll book more. If I can get a bulk booking discount, I would book lot more sessions

Thank you so much for your time and feedback *******, will try to work on pointers you gave. The interview was great, got a lot of structured feedback. Was explained what an interviewer looks for and places where I had no idea or was being vague. Great coach.

Thanks for the time and the feedback. It was really helpful. 

Thank you for the awesome session! Awesome experience!

Great platform to get real-time interview experience

Great service. The coach really knows what he's doing. I got very detailed advice in a very efficient format.

Thank you for the awesome session. looking forward to connecting soon for another session.

Really appreciate the time and the advice you gave me - thank you! Great coaches, I suspect the anonymity feature lets coaches give advice on Prepfully that they might be worried about giving openly

Liked the mock interview pattern. Very useful advice

Thanks! Personally for me, I thrive on specific examples where I could improve, and tie that to the sticking point I have. This coach did exactly that, they didn't hold back when they felt I need to improve, and gave very specific examples of where I missed the mark.

Great selection of coaches, great product, booking experience as well.
