How to develop 'selling stories' in a job interview?

Developing compelling stories to sell yourself in a job interview involves showcasing your skills, experiences, and achievements in a way that captivates the interviewer's attention. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you develop these stories effectively:

There will be 4 areas that we'll dive into today:

1. Identify relevant experiences
2. Choose impactful examples
3. Structure your stories using the STAR method

- The STAR Method explanation:
Situation: Describe the context and provide background information about the situation you encountered.
Task: Explain the specific task or challenge you faced within that situation.
Action: Detail the actions you took to address the challenge or task. Be specific about what you did, how you did it, and why you chose that approach.
Result: Share the outcome of your actions, emphasizing the positive impact you made. Use quantifiable results whenever possible to demonstrate the value you added.

4. Focus on the problem-solving aspect

Remember, the goal is to demonstrate your skills, experiences, and achievements in a compelling and memorable way. Developing and refining your storytelling abilities will help you effectively sell yourself during a job interview. Good luck!

Gírias (slangs) 

JENNIFER: It’s freezing outside! What happened to the 
weather report? I thought this cold front was 
supposed to pass.
GABRIELA: Yeah, I thought so too. That’s what I read online
this morning.
JENNIFER: I guess the wind chill is really driving down
the temperature.
GABRIELA: Can we go inside? I feel like my toes are starting to 
go numb.




LANGUAGE NOTES
• A “cold front” means a large mass of cold air. It can be plural: There were multiple cold 
fronts this January. 
• Here “supposed to” refers to something that is intended or expected to happen: I 
thought it was supposed to rain today. This phrase can be used for many situations: I 
thought the train was supposed to arrive at 9:00 a.m. sharp.
• Yeah / Yup / Uh huh are informal conversational cues used by native speakers in 
conversation. Each of these responses could be used here for “yes.” Gabriela affirms 
what Jennifer is saying. The most polite way to affirm a response is to say “yes.”
• Listen for the emphasis on “That’s what I read online this morning.” This useful 
phrase can be used with other verbs to convey information: That’s what I heard on the 
radio. / That’s what I saw on TV. / That’s what I read online.
• Chill / freezing / cold: These words describe cold weather. I feel the wind chill. / I feel 
the chill. / I am freezing. / I am cold.
• Wind chill is the effect of the wind making the temperature feel colder on a person’s 
skin. This is an uncountable noun. The temperature is 4 degrees, but with the wind chill 
it feels like -8. These phrases are used in weather reports as well.
• The phrase “driving down” means “forcing to be lower” and can be used in many 
situations. An oversupply of new houses is driving down sales prices in the area.
