Landing a job interview is more than just showing your resume — it’s your chance to tell your story, showcase your skills, and demonstrate how you connect with the company’s mission. At Nubank, we look for people who want to challenge the status quo, impact millions of lives, and grow alongside the company.

Preparing for an interview means understanding yourself, reflecting on your experiences, aligning your goals with the company’s challenges, and being ready to show how you can add value. Here are 10 essential points to stand out:

1. Understand why you want to work at Nubank

Start by reflecting on what motivates you to apply for this opportunity. Research the company’s culture, values, and mission, and think about how they connect to your professional journey.

2. Recall your experience and achievements

After understanding your motivation, it’s time to share your professional story. Interviewers want to learn about the challenges you’ve faced, the solutions you brought, and the results you achieved.

Preparation tip: create a mental map of your experiences, highlighting learnings, skills developed, and measurable outcomes. Focus on the most relevant examples that demonstrate real impact.

At Nubank, we value experiences that involve problem-solving, teamwork, and measurable results.

3. Identify your main strengths

Think about your key strengths, whether technical or behavioral. Soft skills such as emotional intelligence, teamwork, and resilience are increasingly valued.

Practical tip: connect your strengths to specific examples where they made a difference. For example, analytical skills might have helped optimize a process or improve decision-making in a project.

4. Recognize your opportunities for growth

Everyone has areas where they can improve. Recognizing your development opportunities shows maturity and a continuous learning mindset.

Preparation tip: choose a real skill you are actively improving and explain how you are working on it, showing results or progress. This turns a growth area into a positive talking point.

5. Align your goals with the company

It’s important to understand where you want to go professionally and how it aligns with the company’s path. Interviewers want to know if your goals make sense within Nubank’s trajectory and if you are thinking long-term.

Preparation tip: reflect on the challenges you want to tackle, the skills you want to develop, and how the role fits into that journey. This shows clarity, focus, and commitment to mutual growth.

6. Highlight your education

Beyond listing degrees, show how your education contributed to your professional development. Courses, certifications, and practical experiences demonstrate how you prepared for real-world challenges.

Tip: emphasize learnings relevant to the role you are applying for and be transparent about your level of expertise.

7. Show your value: why should we hire you?

Now it’s time to demonstrate impact. Interviewers want to understand how you can generate results, tackle challenges, and contribute to the company.

Preparation tip: connect your skills and experiences to real company challenges. Use concrete examples, ideally with measurable outcomes, to show you can turn knowledge into action.

8. Demonstrate teamwork skills

Teamwork is essential, especially in collaborative and cross-functional environments like Nubank.

Preparation tip: share stories where you worked with different profiles or handled conflicts. Show empathy, communication skills, and what you learned through collaboration.

9. How you handle challenges and everyday situations

Here, the interviewer wants to understand how you respond to real work challenges — tight deadlines, shifting priorities, or the need to make quick decisions on important projects. At Nubank, we look for people who can maintain high-quality work even in complex, dynamic scenarios.

Preparation tip:

  • Think of situations where you faced unexpected changes or complex projects.
  • Explain how you analyzed the problem, what actions you took, and the results achieved.
  • Show learning and growth — it’s not about being perfect, but about learning, adapting, and contributing effectively.

Opportunity connection:
If you’ve participated in a critical project that required reprioritizing or collaborating across teams, explain how your approach kept the project on track. This demonstrates your ability to handle the pace and challenges of Nubank’s daily operations.

10. Think about your future: career expectations

Finally, reflect on where you see yourself in five years. This demonstrates planning, maturity, and self-awareness.

Preparation tip: describe your next steps, skills you want to develop, and areas for growth, connecting your development plan to real opportunities within the company.

Connecting everything

Each step is interconnected. Understanding your motivation helps you tell your story; recognizing strengths and growth areas demonstrates maturity; aligning goals and showing your value indicates readiness to grow with the company.

At Nubank, we seek people who question the conventional, take initiative, learn continuously, and positively impact the business and our customers. Prepare, share your story authentically, and connect your experiences and ambitions with the challenges we face together.
