I have an interview coming up with a company I really want to work for. One part is a virtual white boarding session on Miro. Any advice on how to prepare for this? I usually take my time when thinking through problems, so I’d like to know how to best prep. Thanks.

The key to this is being able to verbalize your thinking process. Dont focus on the outcome but rather the questions you'll be asking, let the audience know what you're thinking about, what your process looks like if you have one and how the next question helps you understand the problem. Companies/panels aren't looking for a perfect solution or an organized session. This part of the interview is really to get inside your mind and also how you work with others. If you're going to be whiteboarding while "working with" one of the panelists, make sure to show your collaboration skills too

That makes a lot of sense. I was stressing the mechanical aspect of whiteboarding, but focusing on verbalizing my thought process will be great. Thanks

Brush up on your process. Whiteboarding session is less about outcome, even though it would be a bonus. But they want to see you process, and they want to see how you work with your future peers so try to develop rapport and chemistry with the rest of the team.

If this is a leadership role, lead. Otherwise, try to focus on being part of a good team. Try to inspire, get people to open up, etc.

like

Spend time thinking through your thought process, like others above mentioned.

I can tell when a candidate shows up with a template they got online. They sort of blindly follow the steps or boxes and the process just isnt that engaging. Their fear comes through as they stutter, move slower, lose track of time, etc etc. it’s pretty evident who is up to speed and who isn’t in the first minute.

A good whiteboard exercise is juicy with thoughtful analysis, discussion, and brief quips of process to connect dots.

Get comfortable with your thinking. Have some notes ready. Watch your time management. And have fun.

Miro has some great templates you could use and check out Miroverse they have lots of community created stuff

Did they give you any topic or directions about the session? Is it too envision? Map? Flow? Analyze? Usually they give you a bit more about the session. Who else is there and what’s the length? Try to find out a bit more
