Founders in Motion with Thea Ngo

I Lost the Interview in 15 Seconds


Listen Later

I walked into a top consulting firm interview fully prepared and lost the room in 15 seconds. Six months later, same resume, same experience, I got the offer. The only thing that changed was how I showed up.


We talk about reading the room in real time, how to research your interviewer like a journalist, and what to do in the 24 hours after the interview.


For: early career job seekers, career pivoters, anyone stuck in final-round purgatory
