Interview Simulation – Practice Your Communication & Design Skills

About this Event

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 mix of behavioral and design-focused questions. 2. **Feedback Round** – The group provides constructive feedback on communication, structure, and clarity. We’ll focus on: * **Behavioral questions** (“Tell me about yourself”, “Describe a challenge you faced...”) * **Light design problems** (high-level reasoning, not coding-heavy) 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.
