Build Your Interview Blueprint

You have a real or imagined interview in two weeks — design the version of yourself you want to walk in with.

Your Raw Material

Write three things you genuinely bring to any job: one skill, one value, one experience. Be honest, not impressive.

Rank Your Strengths

Rank your three items from step 1: which would a recruiter remember most?

Most memorable1 2 3 4 5

Second1 2 3 4 5

Least memorable1 2 3 4 5

Keep or Cut

Sort these interview habits into two zones — then defend one cut in a sentence.

Keep it

Cut it

Your One-Line Pitch

Write a single sentence that says who you are professionally — not your job title, but what you actually do well and why it matters. Apply the savoir-faire principle: calm, honest, specific.

Stress-Test It

Look back at step 2 — does your top-ranked strength actually appear in your one-line pitch? Mark yes or no, then adjust if needed.

Yes, it's thereNo, I need to revise

One Concrete Improvement

Name one thing you will do differently in your next interview based on today's lesson — be specific, not vague.

Now I See Its Shape

Choose ONE word that describes the professional presence you have designed today. Share it with your partner and explain why that word — not another — is the right one.

Why that word?

Discuss Tell your partner: what is the one thing you would never want a recruiter to see in you — and is it something you can actually change?
