Build your interview stack in order: find openings, learn the company, tighten your resume, practice answers, and get a human review before the real thing.
6 steps
1
Check 12twenty if you are recruiting through Stern
For Stern students, this is the fastest way to see employer timelines, interview slots, and school-specific recruiting events.
💡 Pro tip: Set alerts for target roles and save every recruiting deadline to your calendar the day you see it.
📝 Context: If you are outside Stern, keep moving through the rest of this playbook and use Wasserman for the broader NYU path.
2
Learn the business before you walk in
Pull revenue mix, margins, peers, and recent performance so your answers sound like someone who actually did the homework.
💡 Pro tip: Write down one metric, one competitor, and one strategic question you can mention naturally.
📝 Context: You do not need a full model. A one-page note with growth drivers, risks, and competitors is enough for most interviews.
