What if your next interview felt less like an interrogation and more like a dance?
In this week’s episode of The Career Cantina, we explore the rhythm behind a well-executed interview. From the classic moves of the STAR method to the strategic flow of CAD (Conclusion, Argument, Data), this episode is all about understanding the choreography.
We unpack what hiring managers are really doing with those early questions—Verification and Validation—and what to do when the rhythm starts to break. If you’ve ever felt like the conversation was off-beat, this episode gives you practical tools to guide it back in sync.
I also share how the Pyramid Principle, originally developed by @Barbara Minto and introduced to me by @Lorenzo Colombani, can reframe the way candidates communicate under pressure. It is not just a framework. It is a new dance move worth learning.
