Hello there 😎 

I worked with a client last month who had a frustrating pattern.

She was landing final round interviews consistently. Getting down to her and one other candidate. Then losing out every single time.

❝

"I feel like I'm always the bridesmaid, never the bride," she told me.

Sound familiar?

The problem wasn't her experience or qualifications. Companies were clearly interested enough to bring her to the final rounds.

The issue was her interview performance. And she had no idea what was going wrong.

Most people think they can "wing" interviews because they're good speakers. But interviewing is a game of preparation, not natural talent.

Here’s what we changed:

She started recording her side of every interview using her phone's voice memo app. Then she'd review the recordings afterward.

💡 Just pop your phone on your desk and turn it on. Super low-tech

But if you want to get fancy, you can also record with apps like Otter.ai (free to start).

Within three interviews, she caught the patterns. She was rambling on technical questions. Underselling her achievements. Not connecting her answers to what they actually needed.

And here's where AI became her secret weapon.

She'd upload her interview transcripts to ChatGPT Study Mode and ask: "What could I improve about these answers?"

Unlike regular ChatGPT, Study Mode doesn’t just give you the answer. It asks more questions and forces you to think for yourself. It can help explain why certain responses work better and pushes you to think through improvements yourself.

Bonus points: After every rejection, she always asked for feedback. She only got a response 25% of the time, but now she can feed that into ChatGPT to further sharpen her approach.

Start with your next interview:

  1. Record your side of the interview

  2. Load it to ChatGPT Study Mode

  3. Prompt with questions and new approaches to improve

Employees can work from almost anywhere, with the company supporting remote work through destination partnerships and a "20 destinations supporting remote work" initiative.

In today’s market, your resume needs to work twice as hard to get noticed in crowded applicant pools. I've created a Claude skill to help with rewriting my client’s resume bullets into powerful impact statements that align perfectly with job descriptions.

This custom prompt transforms each bullet into a three-part formula:

  • The measurable impact you delivered

  • What specific action you took

  • How you accomplished it

Remember: recruiters spend mere seconds scanning resumes. Impact bullets immediately communicate your value, making it clear why you're worth interviewing even without face-to-face interaction.

Quick-Start Guide:

  • Copy your existing resume bullet points

  • Copy the JD of the role you’re applying for

  • Ask Claude: "Transform these bullets into impact statements showing the result, what I did, and how I did it, based on this job description

  • Review and personalize the AI suggestions

  • Once you start producing good results, turn it into a skill (make sure you have Skills enabled in your settings)
