I have a final panel coming up and it seemed like there was no mock demo which was odd (agenda showed nothing stating there was a mock). I hopped on a prep call today and the recruiter casually threw in that I would be doing a mock with one of the panelists.
The recruiter provided no context so I stopped her and asked for clarification; Is this discovery?Is it straight to demo? Do I choose the context? She literally gave me nothing. She said oh just demo what you currently sell, it will be straight forward. The recruiter overall has been pretty bad but this is one of the most recognized and successful startups that everyone here knows and uses most likely.
My fear is jumping on the call and going straight to demo and then the panelist expecting discovery or vice versa. I always feel like my mock demos are bad even though I have gotten good feedback and job offers after them. Only one has rejected me before.
What is the best approach to this? Also, any general tips for mocks?
