Code to Career: Interview Skills for Technical Professionals

About The Session
This is a friendly, interactive drop-in session for technology professionals who want to sharpen their interview skills and build confidence.

Each session begins with a short overview covering useful topics, relevant theory, and practical techniques. We then put these ideas into practice through interactive group activities.

What to Expect from Each Session:

• Practice answering real interview questions in a supportive small-group setting
• Tips and techniques for structuring strong, memorable responses
• Opportunities to speak in front of others and receive constructive feedback
• Peer learning through shared experiences and insights

As this is a group session, you will learn by doing, observing others, and sharing feedback and thoughts. You can say as little or as much as you want during the session, however you will get the best results by actively engaging and taking part.

Places are limited to 10 at each session to ensure everyone benefits fully from the small group learning experience.

You can attend as often as you like. Every session is different, with new questions, scenarios, and challenges, so you will keep improving over time. Whether you have an interview coming up or simply want to stay sharp for future opportunities, this is a great way to prepare.

Who Is This Event For:
Technology professionals aiming for career progression, whether into their next role, a senior position, or a specialist post.

Join us to practise, learn, and grow your confidence in a safe, constructive and supportive environment.
