Practicing your interview answers feels awkward. We get it, but hear us out: you won’t sound robotic or scripted, you’ll just sound prepared. This week, Jeff and I are breaking down how to predict interview questions and structure every answer to impress the hiring panel.  

In this episode, we cover:

  • The myth that practicing makes you sound robotic
  • The #1 most important skill for a strong interviewer: storytelling
  • How to predict every situational interview question (it's in plain sight!)
  • The essential STAR method for behavioral questions
  • Why the "CARL" method is actually better
  • Getting over the awkwardness of practicing your answers out loud
  • The ideal, concise length for a powerful story (Hint: It's not 5 minutes)
  • The one thing candidates did that bothered interviewers the most
