Your Story

Keep it short. The long version over-explains.

The two-sentence story

“We were going through a restructuring and I saw it as an opportunity. In the restructuring there were no growth pathways for me, so I decided to look for something else.”

For the inner circle

“Y'all know how it is, restructuring is happening, I saw the writing on the wall and decided to make some moves.”

Back on campus (holiday party, exit interview)? Vibe your best days and wins. Exit interviews aren't confidential.

Mantras

Tap each one once you've written it down somewhere you'll see it.

Seed & Soil

Three lenses for every opportunity.

Healthy soil looks like this. Check what you've confirmed about a company you're considering.
