What interviewing practice resources are there for non-software positions?
Hi everyone, I’m a part-time PhD student in Mechanical Engineering, with a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering. I previously worked at Boeing as a Systems Engineer and was recently affected by layoffs. I’m now actively seeking new opportunities in systems engineering—particularly in the automotive, healthcare, space, and broader aerospace sectors. I hold INCOSE (International Council on Systems Engineering) certification, a Python certification from Nucamp, and bring strong experience in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Simulink, and MATLAB. My work has always been guided by a systems thinking mindset and a passion for solving complex problems. As a U.S. Person (though not yet a citizen), I’m currently unable to work in some companies/ roles—but I look forward to the day I can serve in those areas too. I’m counting down the days until I can fully contribute to this country in the ways I know I’m capable of. My main question is how I can prep for interviews with companies such as SpaceX, Tesla, etc. I know there are websites for hard-core software engineers to get advice from people from Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. But I am not aware of such a thing for the systems engineering world. If you know of any opportunities or connections that align with my background, I’d truly appreciate your support or advice. Thank you for taking the time to read this!

I've done multiple interviews, I'm on a rejection streak, and I am in the dumps because of it.

I know everyone says to just be yourself, but i don't know how to do that. I'm not putting up a facade for these interviews, I think the problem is I don't know how to sPeAk and improv on the spot.
