Key takeaways
- One week, an hour a day: grid → STAR → pitch and deep dive → company mapping → out loud → mock → closing questions.
- Map each question to a theme, and each theme to a story you've prepared.
- Check every answer: nugget, short situation, numbered actions with reasons, "I", a number, a lesson, about two minutes.
- Re-read the grid and the company values on the day; prepare questions to ask.
