  • 03

    Communication clarity — top-down, no burying the lede

  • 04

Practical tips

Resume + interview tactics that work.

Resume tips

  • 1.

    Lead bullets with quantified outcomes — "raised $2M" beats "raised significant capital".

  • 2.

    Action verbs only: "led", "built", "drove", "shipped". No "responsible for".

  • 3.

    One page through 5+ years experience. Cleanliness counts as signal.

Interview tips

  • 1.

    Practice 10+ cases out loud before any final round.

  • 2.

    Drill mental math: % of, growth rates, market sizing — 10-second answers.

  • 3.

    Always structure first, then dive in. Jumping to analysis is the most common rejection reason.
