Interview stages follow the same scoring workflow as application review stages, with additional features for preparing, taking notes, and working with scheduled interview times.
## The Dashboard for Interview Stages
Your **My Reviews** dashboard at `/reviews` handles both application reviews and interview assignments in a single view. Interview stage cards show additional information:
* **Stage label** -- displayed as "1st Interview" or "2nd Interview" instead of the raw stage name
* **Interview date** -- shown next to the stage name if an interview has been scheduled
* **"Unscheduled"** -- shown if the interview has not been booked yet
* **Due date** -- if a due date is set, it appears on cards where the interview has already occurred. Overdue items show the date in red with an "OVERDUE" label.
Interview cards sort by urgency alongside non-interview cards. Overdue interview reviews appear at the very top. Unscheduled interviews appear lower since there is nothing to act on yet.
## Preparing for an Interview
Before the interview takes place, you can open the scoring interface to prepare. Click **Prepare** on the card. Inside, you have access to:
* **Application tab** -- review the applicant's full submission
* **Reviews tab** -- read completed reviews from earlier stages to understand how the applicant has been evaluated so far
* **Script tab** -- view the interview questions configured for this stage. Use these to guide your conversation.
* **Notes tab** -- start writing private notes before, during, or after the interview
You can score criteria and save drafts during preparation, but you cannot submit the review until after the scheduled interview time has passed.

Open the scoring interface on a second screen during the interview itself. The **Script** tab gives you your question guide, and the **Notes** tab lets you capture observations in real time.

## Taking Interview Notes
The **Notes** tab provides a private text area tied to the specific stage. Your notes auto-save as you type. Only you can see these notes -- they are not visible to other reviewers or the applicant.
Notes are stored separately from the review itself. Even if you have not started scoring, you can use the notes tab to capture thoughts during or after the interview.
## Scoring After the Interview
Once the interview time has passed, the scoring workflow is identical to a regular application review. Score each criterion, select your recommendation, write your overall notes, and submit.
For second-round interview stages, an additional **Assessments** tab appears in the left column, showing self-assessment results from the applicant's team members. This gives you context on how the team views its own strengths and challenges.
## What Happens After You Submit
After submission:
1. Your review is locked (scores and notes become read-only)
2. You are redirected back to the dashboard
3. The assignment moves to the **completed** section
4. Your recommendation can still be changed if the application remains at this stage
The cohort administrator is notified when enough reviewers have completed their reviews for a stage. They will then review the consensus scores and make a decision on each application.
:::info
Interviews are scheduled through Cal.com by the cohort administrator. You do not book interviews yourself. If your dashboard shows "Unscheduled" for an interview assignment, the booking has not been created yet -- no action is needed from you.
