STEP 01
Interview Yourself First
Know your own candidacy before anyone asks you to explain it.
Before you prepare answers, get clear on your own case: what you have done, what you value, what you learned, and what you want next.
• What have you built, changed, improved, or influenced?
• Which decisions, successes, and setbacks shaped how you operate?
• What work, leaders, teams, and cultures bring out your best?
• What do you want to learn or experience next?
• Why this opportunity, and why now?
-
Why The Company
What specifically attracts you?
-
Why The Role
Why this and what will you gain?
-
Why You
What do you bring that matters here?
-
Why Now
Why does this step make sense now?
Your answer should be specific enough that it could not be reused elsewhere. Connect what attracts you, what you bring, what you want to gain, and why the timing makes sense.
Meaningful growth is not always a bigger title. It may mean more ownership, complexity, impact, decision-making, or the chance to build something new.
Moving from a large company to a smaller biotech? Show, do not just tell. Use examples of rolling up your sleeves, working beyond your silo, building with fewer resources, and operating comfortably with more ambiguity and risk.
