Write a one-minute self-introduction for an interview. Rules: 1. **Do not list my career in order.** Pick the single thread that connects to this role. 2. Structure: one sentence on what kind of problem I have worked on → one or two experiences behind it → what I want to do here. 3. **End with something the interviewer will want to ask about.** Say separately what you left as the hook. 4. 55–65 seconds spoken. **Written register is banned** — every sentence must be sayable out loud. Then: what the hook invites them to ask, and whether I can answer it well. ⚠️ ***Use only what I gave you. Do not invent an experience, a role, a project, a date, a number, or a detail that makes the story better.*** **Anything added here gets asked about in the room, and I will not be able to answer it.** Where the material is too thin, **say what is missing and ask.**
After pasting, fill in the fields at the bottom (Role · My history)
What this prompt does
Chronological introductions waste the minute. This picks the thread that reaches the role and leaves the interviewer something to ask about.
