Transcript
Never introduce yourself in an interview like this. It starts with the most underrated question there is. Tell me about worse. And most people answer it the exact same way. My name is this. I studied at this college. I'm from this city. I've got this many years of experience. Thank you. That's not an introduction. That's a c v being read out good, and the interviewer already has your c v. They don't need you to narrate it back to them. That question isn't a formality. It's the first test, and most people fail it before the interviews even really started. Here's what a great answer actually does. It tells a story, not your life tier. One specific story that explains who you are, what you're good at, and why you're sitting in that chair. Something like, I spent the last three years building sales teams from scratch at early stage startups. I've made every mistake there is, learned what actually moves the numbers, and now I wanna bring that to a company that's ready to scale. That's why I applied here. Sixty seconds. No hometown, no college name unless it's actually relevant. Just clarity, confidence, and a reason you belong in that room. If you wanna learn how to command a room the second you open your mouth, check out the link in my bio for my books. The first thirty seconds of any interview set the tone for everything after them, so own them.
