Getting a job abroad involves many interviews with potential employers. We offer unique preparation to software developers and other tech talents who want to land an international position. Candidates can prepare for the often long hiring process by booking “mock interviews” with our specialists and most VanHackers hired had taken prep classes. If you are thinking about signing up but have questions about how mock interviews work, this post is for you.
What are mock interviews
A mock interview or a prep interview is a conversation with one VanHack specialist that simulates a real job interview. Our advisor will ask you some of the most common questions you would get in a real-life scenario. We offer candidates two different kinds of preparation: technical interview and HR interview also referred to as cultural fit interview. The whole setup is similar to a real hiring process. The advisor will act as a recruiter and you will be expected to behave as you would in a job interview.
Some of the difficult job interview questions you get to practice are:
- Can you tell me a little bit about yourself?
- Why do you want to quit your current job?
- Why do you want to move to “name country”?

The unique perspective our advisors can offer you
It\’s the feedback candidates get from our advisors that makes the experience helpful and empowering. Although it may look like a regular HR conversation, the mock interview gives our team the chance to get to know you better. After talking to you, our advisor will coach you on how to perform your very best during real-life job interviews.
Our team has the unique perspective of knowing what the hiring companies are looking for and, with the mock interview, what you have to offer. They will guide you to meet the hiring partner\’s expectations and get closer to receiving an offer.

Life-changing feedback candidates get from mock interviews
Our advisors are in a privileged position to offer you potentially life-changing advice. For example, they can tell candidates what experiences to highlight for each specific opportunity, how to better explain projects they have been part of, or what skills will impress recruiters the most. This process will be different and specific to every opportunity a VanHack applies to.
When you take mock interview sessions you will also learn about posture, vocabulary, and general behavior that can improve your chances of getting the job.
In addition to being better prepared, we believe mock interviews make candidates more confident and empowered. And that can be the little push you need to start your life abroad.
