    “Interviews aren’t about what you know.
    They’re about how you think.”

    Who am I?

    I’ve hired at project and programme level.
    I’ve rejected candidates with 10+ years’ experience.
    And I’ve hired people with 2 — because they demonstrated the right mindset.

    Most QA interviews aren’t lost because of knowledge gaps.

    They’re lost because candidates don’t understand what’s being silently assessed.

    This playbook shows you what hiring managers are really looking for.
