1. Read the role like a hiring team
Identify the top 3 priorities: expected outcomes, ownership level and critical skills.
Your answers should prove alignment with those priorities, not just motivation.
2. Build a clear 90-second pitch
Your pitch must connect your background to this specific role: who you are, what you do well and why this move makes sense now.
Simple format: context, expertise, measurable impact, intent.
3. Prepare STAR answers
For behavioral questions, use STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result). It keeps your answer credible and structured.
Prepare four strong stories: one success, one conflict, one mistake fixed and one prioritization challenge.
- Keep each story under 90 seconds.
- Always end with a measurable result.
- Add what you would improve today.
4. Your final 24-hour routine
Review the job post, tailored resume and pitch. Confirm logistics: call link, commute, time and setup.
Bring three smart questions about team goals, 90-day expectations and success metrics.
