Six best practices
Small shifts. Noticeably better interviews.
01
01 / 06CONTEXT
Give your copilot the full picture.
Add the role, job description, and the experience you want to highlight before the call. Better context produces sharper guidance.
Resume + JD + role priorities
02
02 / 06INTENT
Know the story you want to tell.
Choose three proof points you want the interviewer to remember. Use SAL9000 to organize them—not to replace your point of view.
3 memorable proof points
03
03 / 06FOCUS
Treat suggestions as cues, not scripts.
Glance, absorb, then speak naturally. Your own words, pace, and judgment build more trust than a recited answer.
Glance → think → respond
04
04 / 06STRUCTURE
Lead with the answer.
Start with your conclusion, then support it with context, action, and a measurable result. Keep most answers under two minutes.
Answer → evidence → result
05
05 / 06TRUST
Stay present and transparent.
Keep eye contact, listen fully, and follow the interviewer's AI policy. SAL9000 works best as quiet support.
Presence over perfection
06
06 / 06REVIEW
Turn every call into an advantage.
Record the questions that challenged you and the examples that landed. Those patterns make the next call stronger.
Capture → reflect → improve
