You're answering the wrong question


When they ask "Tell me about yourself," you think they want your resume timeline.

They don't.

When they ask "Why did you leave your last role?" you think they want the truth.

They don't. (Not all of it, anyway.)

When they ask "What's your salary range?" you think they want a number.

They absolutely do. But the wrong number costs you $15K-$25K before you even start.

Here's the problemo: You're answering the literal question. But interviewers are asking something completely different underneath.

"Tell me about yourself" actually means: "Can you position yourself as a strategic asset in 60 seconds or will you ramble about tasks?"

"Why did you leave?" actually means: "Are you going to badmouth your last employer and become a culture risk?"

"What's your salary range?" actually means: "How low can we go without you walking away?"

You don't know the translation. So you walk into six-figure EA interviews answering $60K questions.

That's why you keep getting offers $20K-$30K below what you're worth.

The Interview Ready Playbook ($47) decodes all 50+ questions recruiters actually ask with the real translation, the psychology behind it, and the exact framework to answer in a way that positions you for top-tier pay.

You're not bad at interviews. You just don't know what they're actually asking.

Listen Reader, "Detail-oriented team player with strong communication skills" is on every EA resume. And no one with that resume is getting paid the big bucks. I review a lot of EA resumes. About 90% of them say some version of the same thing: "Detail-oriented professional" "Strong organizational skills" "Excellent communication" "Team player" "Ability to multitask" These things might be true. They're also an ATS (applicant tracking system and AI's grandpa) dream. And look, you probably ARE...

"I'm passionate about supporting others" is the fastest way to stay underpaid. I know that sounds eff'd up. But hear me out. When you say you're "passionate about supporting others," what a hiring managers hear is: "I will accept less money because I find fulfillment in the work itself." And listen I get it. You probably ARE good at supporting people. You probably DO get satisfaction from making your exec's life easier, from solving problems, from being the person everyone can count on....

Real talk? You're already doing work worth $125K+. You're managing budgets, coordinating executives, building systems, running the day to day— all while they pay you $60K-$85K and act like you should be grateful. And every "career coach" tells you the same thing: "Build your skills! Get certified! Prove your worth!" Funk that. You don't need MORE skills. You don't need MORE time you don't have. You don't need to spend money you shouldn't have to spend. You need to uncover your invisible...
