I'm someone who failed 13 interviews in a row. While watching the interview lecture, I realized how lacking I am, even though I don't fully understand it yet😢 I'll work hard until I understand it.

I paid four days before my interview. I'll complete the course and make sure to do well and share the good news of my acceptance! Thank you for the great lecture.

I feel like the things I felt overwhelmed by while preparing for technical interviews have been resolved, and I believe I can prepare more systematically based on what I learned through the lectures.

What you will gain after the course

  • Practical Methods for Quantifying Project Experience

  • Advanced answer tree that handles 2-3 follow-up questions

  • Real-world mock interview simulation experience

"I got an interview, but I don't know what to prepare!!"

"Is it enough to just memorize Java junior backend interview questions?"

No, it doesn't.


Backend technical interviews consist of two main parts.

1. Experience Interview (Experience-based Questions)

"Please tell me about your experience using Redis"
"What was the most difficult technical problem you faced?"
"Why did you choose that technology?"

2. Technical interview (Concept questions)

"What is the operating principle of B-Tree indexes?"
"Please explain transaction isolation levels"
"What about data consistency when Redis and DB are updated simultaneously?"

We prepare these two things properly over 3 days.


We address what actual students are most curious about

"What if I really don't know anything at all?"

❓ "There's not much information about the company, so how do I make an appeal?"

"What if I don't have anything to quantify?"

You'll practice by looking at real students' resumes and answers.

The only course where you get instant feedback on the things you're really curious about


✅ Here's what you'll learn.

5-step flow of choices explaining "why"

  • 3 Live Resume Reviews in Practice

  • How to quantify even toy projects with K6 load testing

  • The gaslighting technique of changing "I wrote it to learn" → "I had to write it"


Complete Mastery of 7 Follow-up Question Patterns

  • Real-time Mock Interview Replay (iusto's Legend)

  • Comparison of failing vs. passing answers for each pattern

  • How to compare 3 alternatives, handling edge cases


"What do I do if I really don't know?" Survival skills

  • Share your thought process (explain using hypothetical scenarios)

  • Buying time with clarifying questions

  • Narrowing the scope to what you know (K8s → Docker)

  • Expressing honesty + willingness to learn


Complete DNA Analysis of Major Tech Companies (Naver, Kakao, Coupang, Toss)

  • How to handle situations when you don't have company information

  • How to Prepare Reverse Questions (Showing Interest in the Company)

  • 4-Week Preparation Plan Weekly Action Items



✨ Features of This Course

📌 We analyze based on actual companies.

This is not theory. These are things that actually happened in real interviews.
From rejection cases to acceptance cases,
from Kakao to Toss and Coupang,
and even startups that no one knows about.

Understand each company's interview DNA,
analyze why candidates failed and why they passed,
and repeatedly practice applying this to your own answers.

This isn't just a "tip."
It's a strategy proven in actual interview settings.



📌 Organize "quantified experiences" from start to finish using templates

You've heard "Quantify your resume!"
many times, but most people don't know how to actually apply it.

That's why in this course,

A. Problem Situation → B. Solution → C. Improvement Metrics

This flow has been designed to enable repeated learning in template form.

You can learn a persuasive sentence structure based on numbers in this course.


📌 Direct Application Through Missions and Feedback

This is not just a lecture you passively listen to.

For each Day, you'll receive a mission to apply directly to your project:

Day 1 Mission:

  • 3 projects you're confident about → Rewrite using the 5-slide structure

  • Document the Why for all technology stacks

  • Prepare answers for 10 anticipated follow-up questions

Day 2 Mission:

  • Write 1 personal experience perfectly using the ABC structure

  • 3 follow-up question answers (Why did you choose it? What other approaches? What did you learn?)


  • "Unknown Technology" Simulation (Applying 5 Survival Techniques)

Day 3 Mission:

  • 1 answer to "unknown technology question"

  • Writing about "failure experience" in STAR format

  • Prepare 3 questions to ask


This is a thorough curriculum that helps you develop practical skills as well.



This is recommended for those who

I keep failing interviews,
but I don't know why.
✔ Those who only give abstract answers like "I've used Redis" or "I improved performance"
✔ Those who get stuck on follow-up questions ("Why did you choose that?", "What about other methods?")

I have projects, but I don't know what to say or how to say it.
✔ Those who want to turn "It got much faster" into "concrete expressions"
✔ Those who want to turn toy project experience into interview-ready answers

I know the technology, but I can't explain it.
✔ Those who have used Redis, Kafka, MSA but can't provide reasons for "why they used them"
✔ Those who evaluated only by "feel" without measuring Before/After metrics

🎁 EVENT 🎁

There is a special benefit provided only to those who take the course.

I've organized everything learned in the course into a practical interview preparation template.

Company-specific interview strategy checklist, project catalog, experience & technical question library


This is a Notion template where you can practice all of these things yourself.

We'll give this template to the first 100 people who write a course review!
