Insight
Why this role: map your evidence to the work they described. Why this company: a specific, true reason you actually have — not a paraphrase of the about page. Why hire you: two or three capabilities they need, each with proof. Keep each answer under two minutes.
Guidance
- Pull three requirements from the posting. Match each to a fact in your notes.
- For the company: use only research you really did (product, problem, team, location).
- “Why hire you” is not a recap of your whole life. It is a tight case.

Why this company? Why should we hire you? Use only my notes and the posting. Do not invent a connection to the company. Posting and any real research notes: [PASTE] My evidence: [PASTE]
