Most people prepare for interviews the wrong way…

They review technical questions, memorize STAR stories and watch YouTube interview tips.

But hiring managers aren’t evaluating how much you studied.

They’re evaluating how clearly you understand your own impact.

When I was hiring, the strongest candidates could answer these 5 questions instantly:

ㅤ

1️⃣ What is the biggest problem you solved recently?

Not tasks, not responsibilities but impact.

2️⃣ Tell me about a time you influenced a decision without authority.

Leadership is influence, not titles.

ㅤ

3️⃣ What measurable result did your work create?

Revenue, efficiency, scale, cost savings. If you can’t quantify it, you’ll sound junior.

ㅤ

4️⃣ What’s a mistake you made, and what changed because of it?

Hiring managers look for reflection and growth.

ㅤ

5️⃣ Why you, over everyone else interviewing for this role?

Most candidates freeze here but leadership candidates don’t.

They clearly articulate their strategic value.

This is why many brilliant women struggle in interviews, they have the experience, but not the story structure to communicate it.

ㅤ

That’s exactly why I built the SOARR™️ interview framework I teach my clients.

It transforms your experience into clear, leadership-level stories that hiring managers remember.

Because interviews aren’t about having good experience, they’re about communicating your impact under pressure.

If you want my exact interview framework that helps my clients land $200K–$500K leadership roles in tech…
