Mapping to values without parroting them
Companies publish the rubric — leadership principles, values, engineering culture docs — and most candidates respond by quoting it back, which is the one approach that reliably fails. This lesson covers what a values-based round is actually scored on, how to map your existing stories onto a published list, and what to do when a value asks for something you have not done.
What you'll be able to do
- Read a published values list as a rubric rather than as a script
- Map an existing story inventory onto a company's values without rewriting the stories
- Answer a value-named question without using the value's vocabulary
- Handle a value you have thin evidence for, honestly

Companies publish the rubric — leadership principles, values, engineering culture docs — and most candidates respond by quoting it back, which is the one approach that reliably fails. This lesson covers what a values-based round is actually scored on, how to map your existing stories onto a published list, and what to do when a value asks for something you have not done. This walkthrough runs about 22 minutes, with runnable code you can edit and re-run as you read.
