Having an interactive session can be a valuable part of your preparation. Here are some additional tips for making the most out of interactive sessions:

Interactive Session Tips:

1. Mock Interviews:

  • Arrange mock interviews with friends, peers, or mentors.

2. Feedback Loop:

  • Encourage honest feedback after each session.
  • Focus on both technical aspects and soft skills like communication.

3. Variety of Scenarios:

  • Cover a range of scenarios, including coding problems, system design discussions, and behavioral questions.
  • This will help you feel more comfortable in different interview settings.

4. Time Management:

  • Practice time management during coding interviews.
  • Develop a strategy for approaching problems efficiently.

5. Whiteboard Practice:

  • If possible, practice coding on a whiteboard or online platform to simulate the interview environment.
  • Pay attention to writing clear and understandable code.

6. Q&A Sessions:

  • Engage in Q&A sessions where you can ask your peers or mentors questions.
  • Discuss solutions, alternative approaches, and trade-offs.

7. Explore Google's Interview Format:

  • Google might have its own interview format. Try to simulate this as closely as possible during mock interviews.

8. Stay Positive:

  • Stay positive during the sessions, even if you face challenges.
  • Use each session as a learning opportunity to improve.

9. Iterative Improvement:

  • Continuously iterate and improve based on feedback.
  • Identify areas where you can enhance your performance.

10. Interactive Platforms:

12. Adaptability:

  • Be ready to adapt to different interview styles and adapt your strategies accordingly.



Interactive sessions can be a powerful tool to refine your skills and build confidence. The more you practice, receive feedback, and iterate on your performance, the better prepared you'll be for the actual interview.
