How did this happen? (Meta Stock)
I have two cross-functional interview coming up next week. The recruiter told me to review the mission statement. Any tips on what to expect in those interviews? #airbnb #airbnbinterview
Saw it somewhere while preparing, thought it might be helpful My advice for these sort of behavioral interviews is not to focus and overfit to the questions you see online. Behavioral questions could really be all over the place and you don't want to drill 10-15 random questions you see online and trip on something you did not expect. My advice would be to form a set of generalizable anecdotes and mental bookmarks that are positive, endearing, and show competence. Maybe 2-4 work-related stories, 2-4 family/upbringing stories, 2-4 school stories, and 2-4 people who are important in your life. As long as you know those things well, you should be able to generalize in a behavioral interview without seeming like you're a one-trick pony. I can elucidate what I mean there with an example: when I first started interviewing, I really only gave responses about my research. Which usually worked, until I had an interviewer who really wasn't into my research and wanted a response about something different - being able to measure those cues in a behavioral interview and pivot towards what the interviewer wants is critical. Finally, keep it lighthearted and friendly. Don't shit talk people or other companies, but if you get asked a question about difficult people I would frame it as "I empathize with why X person was frustrated at the time" and explain how you worked towards resolution. etcetera Edit: for AirBnB read the materials your recruiter sent you. They are very helpful and I recommend reading up on their hospitality and inclusiveness culture. Further, you're on the home stretch homie: good luck!
Thanks for the guidance, very helpful!
Thanks ❤️
I just had it yesterday. It is a standard behavioural interview with questions like why do you want to work for Airbnb, tell me about a time when you did XXX etc
Tell a lot of lies about caring for the welfare of others and the social impact of your work, etc. use “belonging” a lot and me too that inequality makes you sad. Doesn’t matter what you say because you’ll never revisit this and it’ll never come up again. Once you get hired you can complain about not getting enough free shit and post pictures of your Herman Miller office furniture on Slack. 🤣
Keep it light, I had few weeks back. Prepare for 3-4 hours for stories with your school life, college life, professional life and how they matc with their core values. It's gonna be pretty easy going. Interviewers were kind and were smiling at all point.
