Land with Confidence.

Walk in prepared. Negotiate from your values. Start strong.

Walk into interviews with stories instead of claims. Rehearse your STARR stories until they're boring to you - that reads as confident to them. Expect the AI question, and let your Module 4 build make the answer a story. Negotiate from your values and close this chapter deliberately.

Objectives
  • Your goal: interview with stories, negotiate from your values, close the chapter deliberately.
  • The second R - Reflection - is what separates a good answer from a senior one.
  • Expect the AI question. Your Module 4 prototype makes the answer a story.
You're done when
  • Five STARR stories exist, plus scripted answers to my hardest questions - including the AI question.
  • One full mock is done and reviewed; my two weakest stories are rebuilt.
  • My negotiation sheet is complete: range, leverage, non-salary asks, opening sentence.
  • I have chosen the first action I will take after this program.

Step by step

The lessons in this module

Work through each exercise in order. Every step has guidance, prompts, and a place to reflect — inside the hub or on paper.

  1. 1

    7.1 The Story Bank

    ~90 min

    Five STARR stories, written tight.

    **Start with two priority stories; build to five over time.** For each, write Situation · Task · Action · Result · Reflection. **Reflection:** explain what you learned and how you have used it since. **Finish:** add one interview question this story could answer.

  2. 2

    7.2 Hardest Questions + Mock

    ~60 min

    Script the layoff / gap / pivot / AI answers, then run one mock.

    **Stage 1 · Script:** Draft answers to the questions you find hardest. Include the pivot, gap, or layoff questions that apply to you. Add an AI question only if it is relevant to your target work.

    **Stage 2 · Run a mock:** Practice with a friend, peer, coach, or recording.

    **Stage 3 · Review:** Identify and rebuild your two weakest answers or stories.

  3. 3

    7.3 The Negotiation Sheet

    ~45 min

    Range, leverage, non-salary asks, opening sentence - word for word.

    **The strongest negotiation happens before the offer.** Get your **range with sources**, your **leverage list**, your **ranked non-salary asks**, and your **opening sentence ready word-for-word**.

Reflect before moving on
  • Perform one story out loud as if to a panel: where did it sag? Rebuild that beat.
  • What is the first action you will take after this program?
