Interview
Prepare your interview from your real weak points
Preparing for a job interview means anticipating the questions about your weak points and preparing answers backed by your career. Near future. Facing the recruiter, the human with the expired badge meets the questions the machine flagged in their file. They can be guessed: they target the weak points of your application. ATSway starts from yours, against this offer, and prepares for each a likely question and an answer backed by a fact from your CV.

Honest answers
Points absent from your CV are flagged in brackets: you complete them in your own words.
Questions that come from your application
The list of questions comes from the weak points of your CV against this precise offer: you prepare for the ones your application makes likely. An essential skill to strengthen, a gap, short jobs: each point gets its sheet.
The question, then the answer
For each point, a likely question and a built answer, backed by a precise fact from your CV and tied to the offer. Your answer stays frank, factual and focused on the job.
An example: fourteen months between two jobs
Fictional example, for a CV showing fourteen months between “Account manager” and “Area manager”:
Possible question: what happened between your two jobs?
Answer: I had a fourteen-month period between two jobs, [what you were doing during that period, to complete]. As soon as I returned, I took responsibility for an area and met the targets set [to complete with a result from your CV]. It is this ability to quickly take on a scope that your offer asks for.
The brackets are yours: you fill them in.
Your pitch, your messages and your questions
The sheet also contains the answer to “Tell me about yourself”, in thirty seconds aloud, your key messages and questions to ask about the team and the job. They say what the recruiter retains and help you judge the job.
Using the sheet the day before
The human with the expired badge rehearsed the day before, facing a cracked mirror. Read the pitch aloud, stopwatch in hand. Reread the key messages. Go through the weak points one by one, completing the brackets in your own words, then choose your questions.
Use the sheet as an outline: the rest is said in your own words.
After the interview
The sheet ends with a follow-up sentence. See follow up an application. All your applications live in application tracking.
