Get to the Point: One Framework for Every Interview Answer

Most interview answers lose the interviewer in the first thirty seconds: too much windup, not enough payoff, and the real point buried under context nobody asked for. Here's a single framework for structuring behavioral and fit answers so the strongest part of the story lands first, then gets backed up with just enough detail to survive a follow-up question. Alan spent seven years at McKinsey interviewing candidates and getting interviewed himself, and now coaches people on turning a scattered work history into answers that sound deliberate instead of rehearsed. Expect a structure you can apply the same day, not a script to memorize, plus a look at how it holds up against a tough follow-up pulled from the room.
