DREAM INTERVIEWING

Welcome to High Speed Dreams—where every week, you gain one powerful strategy to speed up your job search and land a dream role.

Today, you’ll uncover how to interview like a top 1% jobseeker —the exact strategy that helped my clients beat internal and referred candidates in interviews. Scroll down to learn how you can replicate this success. 🙌

If you keep coming in second place after interviews - you didn’t lose to a better candidate, you lost to someone who marketed themselves better. Hiring managers never go for the most qualified candidate. They go for the person who sold them on them being able to solve their challenges.

After coaching thousands of jobseekers, I developed the PROVE framework that gets my clients hired fast and I’m going to tell you exactly how it works.

Here’s how 👇

1️⃣ P - Prep with the End in Mind → 

Hiring managers do not care how hard you’ve worked in the past. They care about how you will solve their problems in the future.

Your job is to PROVE that hiring you will bring them value.

So before you walk into the interview, know this:

• What are the Core KPI Metrics they care about?

• How did you improve those metrics in previous roles?

• What’s your strategy to do it again for them?

2️⃣ R - Reframe Your Elevator Pitch (With Numbers) → 

Lead with their biggest challenge before positioning yourself as the solution.

Most candidates start by talking about themselves. Big mistake. Focus on the company’s needs first:

✅ “What’s the biggest challenge your team is facing right now? You can’t solve their problems without understanding them first. If they give you a problem → solve it on the spot.

Then talk about your experience, tailored to what their challenges were.

Don’t say 🚫 “I’m a strategic marketing leader with 10+ years of experience in brand awareness and lead gen".”

Say ✅ “I’ve scaled marketing pipelines that generated $X in ARR, cut CAC by Y%, and increased sales by Z%. I’ve taken brands for [X] to [Y] in [Z] months, and I’d love to share more based on what areas you feel you need the most help with.

Numbers make you undeniable. Give them the evidence. It gives you more credibility and now they can measure your impact rather than you providing vague claims.

3️⃣ O - Own Your Impact → 

Don’t focus on what your team did. This is a common mistake. The interviewer does not care about what your team did, because your team is not coming with you. Talk about the things YOU did. Clearly show the problem, the results, and how you made it happen.

4️⃣  V - Value-Driven Conversations

Control the interview and navigate toward business impact. Most candidates play defense. They wait for questions, and react, hoping they say the right thing. Then they lose.

Winners know:

✅  The company’s biggest pain points.

✅  How to steer the conversation shifting from “answering questions” to proving they can solve problems.

✅  How to leave an unforgettable impression and show them why they are a stronger fit than the internal and referred candidates who applied by framing every response in terms of business impact.

5️⃣ E - End like a Closer

Most candidates end by saying “Thank you for your time”

🔥 My clients: “Is there anything that would hold you back from moving forward with me today?”

If yes, then you have a chance to address concerns.

At the end of the day, hiring is a business decision.
