Running it, start to finish
- Describe the role and your background, including what you want next.
- Learn the 60-second version properly, and keep the others in reserve.
- Choose a hook you genuinely want to be asked about.
What you get back
The output this produces, every time.
- Uses present-past-future, which opens with relevance instead of making the listener wait.
- Gives three complete lengths, since you cannot tell which the interviewer wants until you are there.
- Plants a deliberate hook to steer the next question towards your strongest ground.
Getting better results
Where this usually goes wrong, and how to avoid it.
- Do not start chronologically. Beginning with university or your first job makes the interviewer wait for the relevant part, and attention is highest at the start.
- Use the hook deliberately. One distinctive detail invites a follow-up, which lets you choose the ground the interview moves onto.
- Practise the 60-second version most. It is the one you will use, and going long on the first answer sets a poor rhythm for the whole conversation.
