Open
Engaged and curious. Asks questions and listens.
What worksKeep each answer under half a minute, and leave with a date.
Rehearse your next career conversation
Gather what you actually did, while you still remember it. Then walk into the room and say it, with the evidence sitting underneath every line.
It doesn't rely on self-promotion, on office politics, on confidence you don't feel, or on leaving to be recognized. It relies on the impact you've already had.
These three steps are the same in the app you will be using five minutes from now.
Manager styles
The same ask lands differently with different people. Choosing who's across the table is part of a paid plan. When you do, the rehearsal changes with them: their questions, their objections, and what a good result looks like. The free career brief starts you with the open manager.
Engaged and curious. Asks questions and listens.
What worksKeep each answer under half a minute, and leave with a date.
Rushed and distracted. Wants the short version.
What worksRespect their time: one proof, then ask for a proper slot.
Not convinced yet. Pushes back on whether it's really beyond the role.
What worksDon't argue. Get them to name what would convince them.
Short answers, deflects: “it's not really my call.”
What worksStay calm and warm. The win is the next step, not the yes.
How it works
From a win you'd forget to a case you can make. Nothing in the script is made up: it comes from your work.
Evidence
One sentence is enough. Tag the transferable skills it shows, so it counts later.
Sample · made-up test data
Job fit
Paste a job description. Each requirement is sorted into match, transferable or gap, with your proof beside it.

Prepare · STAR stories
The must-haves come first. Each STAR story is built from one of your own wins.
Sample · made-up test data
Rehearse
Pick the manager style and watch it in three parts: a short explainer, your conversation, then practice tips. Captions are always on, the voices are stock AI voices, and each line you say points back to the win or brief it came from.
Sample · made-up test data
Evidence
Every win, conversation and outcome lands in one place, ready for the next one.

Only outcomes you entered. Nothing is estimated.
It won't bluff for you. Where no saved win backs a line, the rehearsal says so and tells you what to save, instead of inventing a number.
Choose a review, a pay talk, a promotion or an interview. Organize one real work example into a brief you can edit and download. Then build your case from there.
