MEET OUR SPEAKER
• Tell me about your background…
• How do you measure success of product x?
• Product x usage is down, what to do next?
• Pick a product and tell me a feature they should build next. (Why?)
• What’s more important, the number of weekly users or engagement of the users you have?
• You build a new feature which is getting adoption but cannibalizing the core product, now what?
• What would be your process for prioritizing features on your roadmap?
• Tell me about a product that is well designed or is not well designed
• Members on a product team have different priorities, how do you balance those often
conflicting priorities
• Be personable and friendly. Smile
• Speak slowly, talk as the interview is a conversation
• Understand the company culture thoroughly beforehand
• Ensure you have the customer needs in mind
• Prepare really thoughtful questions in advance
• Don’t talk disparagingly of a former company or manager
• Research who you are meeting with on LinkedIn
• Sell yourself
• Practice! Take those interviews periodically to hone your skills
