The first 90 seconds of every interview
Hiring managers form an opinion fast. Here's the opening framework our advisors drill with every client before a first-round interview.
Interviewers form a first impression fast — often within the opening exchange. You can't control their bias, but you can control the frame you set in the first ninety seconds.
Open with a tight narrative
When they say "tell me about yourself," don't recite your resume. Give a three-sentence arc: where you are now, one signature result, and why this role is the logical next step.
Signal calm competence
Pace your first answer. A composed, structured opener tells the interviewer you'll be composed under pressure — which is half of what they're actually screening for.
Land the "why this role"
Nothing beats specificity. A single sentence showing you understand the company's actual challenge separates you from every candidate who's just looking for any job.
