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.

$47 for the interview decoder that pays for itself 1,000x over in your first negotiation.

Reader, let me ask you something I ask every client who tells me they hate marketing or refuse to post on social media: How exactly do you expect people to find you? Like... for free? How do you plan to build trust with potential employers before you ever land in their inbox? How are recruiters supposed to know you exist when your LinkedIn looks like a digital ghost town circa 2017? Here's the truth: You either need to pay or you need to play. And honestly? Playing sounds way more fun. The...

You walk into the panel interview. Four people. All staring at you. Taking notes. They fire questions rapid-fire: "Tell us about yourself." "How do you prioritize?" "Describe a time you failed." "What's your management style?" You're trying to remember who asked what. You're repeating yourself. You're losing track. You're spiraling. By question 12, you're completely in your head: Am I talking too much? Did I already say that? Why is that guy frowning? Panel interviews aren't designed to...

You get the offer. $85,000 base salary. Benefits start in 90 days. Two weeks PTO. You're excited. Relieved. You want to say yes immediately. So you do. "Thank you so much! I'm excited to join the team. When do I start?" Negotiation window: closed. You just accepted $15K-$25K less than they would have paid you. Here's what should have happened: "Thank you for the offer. I'm very excited about this opportunity. I'd like to take 24-48 hours to review everything and get back to you. When would be...
