About the Interview Preparation Kit

Most interview preparation is unfocused — some Googling of the company, a few practice answers in the shower. This kit structures the preparation into a system with eight pre-built STAR stories, company intelligence, and a post-interview debrief.

★★★★★
The format range is what sets Groundwork apart. I use the Notion template during the week and print the A5 for weekends. Both are properly designed — not an afterthought.
Alex H.Notion + A5
★★★★★
Clean, purposeful design. No wasted space, no filler prompts. This is what a planning tool should look like — everything on the page earns its place.
Priya S.GoodNotes
★★★★☆
Third Groundwork product I've bought. The consistency across the range means everything works together. Filofax sizes are accurate and the greyscale printing is crisp.

How do I print at home?
