Get the Job — Professional Self-Coaching for Job Interviews.
You have an interview. It matters. You know you have the experience. You know you can do the job. Get the Job takes you, step by step, from your experience to three prepared professional stories — your success, failure and passion stories — so you walk into your interview able to communicate your value, your character and your potential with clarity and confidence.
Each story is built the way memorable stories are built: a powerful beginning that hooks attention in the first sentence, an engaging middle that holds it, and a memorable ending that’s still in the room after you’ve left it.
And you finish with more than the stories themselves. You finish with a question map connecting your stories to fifteen common interview questions, with a prepared way into each. Three lengths of every story — from a 30-second essence to the full telling. Your thread — the professional identity that runs through all three. Your integrated answer to “tell me about yourself.” And your Interview Page — a single page to review on the morning of your interview, with a complete story standing behind every sentence.
