INTERVIEW SIGNALS

What the panel is actually scoring

The bar past the resume. If the rewrite gets you in the room, these are the criteria the loop will weigh once you are there.

  1. 01Clarity: each bullet is one situation, one action, one outcome
  2. 02Evidence: every claim has a number, a system, or a named partner
  3. 03Range: comfort moving across IC, lead, and cross-functional contexts
  4. 04Calibration: neutral language, no buzzwords, no over-claim
