You wouldn’t expect to become a pro athlete by binge-watching game tapes. Similarly, acing interviews requires more than passive learning. Watching “how-to” videos on YouTube or reading guides can only take you so far. The real key to success is relentless, structured practice—and now, with tools like Stellarleap, practicing has never been more accessible or effective.

The Myth of Passive Learning

Tutorials and videos create an illusion of competence. You might understand concepts or see perfect answers, but interviews test how you think and respond under pressure. For example:

• Can you solve a coding problem live without Googling?

• Can you design a system and explain trade-offs clearly?

• Can you tell compelling behavioral stories tailored to your interviewer’s interests?

Passive watching won’t build these skills. Only active practice will.
