Interview Simulation – Practice Your Communication & Design Skills

As part of Berlin Software Designers, we’re hosting an Interview Simulation session — a hands-on meetup to sharpen the skills that matter most for both interviews and architectural discussions.
The same abilities that help you succeed in a job interview — clear communication, structured thinking, and confidence under pressure — are exactly what software architects need when pitching designs to stakeholders, gaining buy-in from managers, or defending trade-offs in design reviews.

#### 💡 How it works

The event is split into two parts:

1. Interview Simulation (10 minutes) – One participant acts as the interviewee and answers a round of behavioral and design-focused questions. Each other participant gets to ask him one interview question.
2. Feedback Round – The group provides feedback on communication, structure, and clarity. Constructive criticism is encouraged.

We’ll focus on:

• Behavioral questions (“Tell me about yourself”, “Describe a challenge you faced...”)
• Light design problems (high-level reasoning, not code)

No need to prepare anything in advance — just bring curiosity and an open mind.

#### 🎯 Why join

• Practice real-world communication and interview skills
• Learn to give and receive actionable feedback
• Understand how to present design decisions clearly and persuasively

Whether you’re preparing for an interview or simply want to grow as a software designer or architect, this session is for you.

Note: join even if you are on the waiting list. The 10 person max is an artificial limit imposed by meetup, we can accommodate more participant.
