The Behavioral Interview
Code gets you in. Story gets the offer.
Hard work doesn't get promoted. Narratives do. Turn your real, raw engineering reality into the corporate jargon leadership expects. Build the Staff-level story that wins the game.
Storytelling is the Universal API for Seniority.
Whether it's convincing your Manager for a promo or a Hiring Committee for an offer—if you can't map your code/work to 'Leadership' and 'Impact', you stay at the same level.
Result: Lower Bonus, Missed Promo, or Down-leveled Offer.
Here's how we transform your raw experience into a senior-level answer.

The 10 Universal Competencies (The Scorecard)
Competencies = the skills interviewers are silently scoring you on.
These are the signals Hiring Managers use to evaluate engineers at every level.
AI
DRAFTING
Transforms signals into clear, structured STAR statements.
The Perfect STAR Answer
Includes Situation, Task, Action, and Result — tailored to your level.
It's not just a 'Chat'. It's a Calibration.
Companies assume you can code. They use the Behavioral Round to predict how you handle Ambiguity, Conflict, and Scale. This distinct round determines if you are hired at the top of the band or the bottom.
YOUR INTERVIEW RESULT
The High Cost of Vague Answers.
Perception is Reality. The interview is a sales pitch. If you don't control the narrative, you lose the level.
The Unprepared Approach
- Walking in with raw memories, unaware of what signals the Hiring Manager is scoring.
- Framing complex engineering challenges as just 'tasks completed' (Junior signal).
- Leaving the evaluation to chance.
Result: DOWN-LEVELED
Junior Offer • Career Setback • -$50k/yr
The Intentional Journaling Mode
- AI mines your daily entries to find hidden Competencies you didn't know you demonstrated.
- Reframes your raw work to sound like a Strategic Leader, not just a contributor.
- You control the perception. You dictate the level.
Result: TARGET LEVEL REACHED
Top of Band • High Leverage • Leadership
