Episode notes
Prepare Your Opening Line
- Prepare a conversational, enjoyable, and strategic answer to "Tell me about yourself" before the interview.
- Practicing your response reduces early-interview nervousness and controls the first impression.
First Answer Sets The Tone
- The opening sets the interview's tone, so decide what you want the interviewer to remember about you.
- A sticky, image-rich story increases recall far more than facts or generic claims.
Draft, Then Tailor Your Script
- Map out your introduction, stories, and company-aligned words before you interview by writing them down.
- Use job ad language to mirror the employer and show fit in your opening remarks.
