Description
What this tool does
A "tell me about yourself" prompt that builds your answer to the first interview question with the Present – Past – Future structure recruiters recommend. You give your current role and experience, two or three key achievements, the target role and company, and why you want it. You get a 30-second version for screening calls, a 60-second version for most interviews, a 90-second version for senior or final rounds, a one-line opening hook, three delivery tips and three mistakes to avoid for your profile. It sounds spoken rather than like a recited CV and uses only your facts. Example: a customer service team lead who cut response time from 12 to 4 hours pitches themselves for an operations analyst role.
