Career Wisdom Micro-Series

Here is your three-part video script, transforming the concept that the 'STAR' method is outdated for recent graduates into a compelling micro-series.

### **Part 1: The Hook (The Problem)**

**[VIDEO START]**

**(Visual: A close-up shot of you looking directly at the camera, looking slightly frustrated.)**

**You:** "Stop using the STAR method in your interviews. Seriously. Every career coach tells you to use it, but every hiring manager has heard 'Situation, Task, Action, Result' so many times they can see it coming a mile away. It sounds rehearsed, robotic, and frankly, boring."

**(Visual: Quick cut to a text overlay: "THEY CAN TELL YOU'RE USING A SCRIPT.")**

**You:** "You're trying to prove you're the best candidate, but you end up sounding exactly like everyone else. It's the fastest way to get your resume moved to the 'maybe' pile, which is really the 'no' pile."

### **Part 2: The Pivot (The Solution)**

**(Visual: Your expression shifts from frustrated to confident and insightful.)**

**You:** "So, what's the alternative? Instead of being a robot, be a storyteller. Great candidates don't just answer questions; they connect their experiences to the company's needs through authentic narratives. I call this the 'Story Weaving' technique."

**(Visual: Text overlay appears next to you: "STORY WEAVING TECHNIQUE" with a simple icon of interconnected threads.)**

**You:** "It's not about listing facts; it's about framing your 'action' and 'result' within a compelling context that makes the interviewer lean in and actually listen. It shows you're not just qualified; you're memorable."

### **Part 3: The Cliffhanger (The Tease)**

**(Visual: You lean in closer to the camera, creating a sense of sharing a secret.)**

**You:** "The STAR method gives you a framework, but Story Weaving gives you influence. It’s the difference between checking a box and making a genuine connection."

**You:** "But here's the critical question..."

**(Visual: Hold a dramatic pause.)**

**You:** "...how do you turn a simple project from your last internship into a powerful story that actually lands you the job, without sounding like you're making it all up?"
