Bernardo’s Story
Bernardo, a Computer Science student from the University of Ottawa and a newcomer to Canada from Brazil, was technically qualified but struggled to translate his experience into confident interview answers. Despite preparing extensively, he often left interviews unsure of what went wrong.
Here’s what he struggled with:
Could not pinpoint weaknesses after interviews
Repeated the same mistakes without clear feedback
Lost confidence despite strong technical skills
Spent money on tools that did not provide actionable guidance
Struggling to pinpoint issues post-interview
Bernardo often felt his interviews went “okay,” but sensed something was missing. Without clear feedback, he replayed answers in his head and carried uncertainty into every next interview.
I’d have interviews where I felt everything went fine, but deep down I knew I wasn’t convincing enough. The worst part was not knowing why.

Key changes:
Clear frameworks for answering common interview questions
Feedback tailored to his background and experience
Practice focused on clarity, not memorization
The feedback gave me a clear way to structure my answers. I started seeing results right away, spotting the mistakes I didn’t realize I was making.
