Comic Strip 1: Resume Transformation

Generic bullets don't get interviews. Quantified STAR-format bullets do.

The STAR Method

S - Situation:

Set the context - Where were you? What was happening?

T - Task:

Your responsibility - What did you need to accomplish?

A - Action:

What you did - Specific steps you took

R - Result:

Outcome with metrics - Numbers, percentages, impact

❌ Before

"Worked on team projects"

Problems: Vague, no metrics, no impact, anyone could write this

✅ After

"Collaborated with 4-person team to build full-stack web app, reducing page load time by 40% through database query optimization"

Why it works: Specific role, team size, technology, measurable result

❌ Before

"Helped with coding"

✅ After

"Implemented JWT authentication system using Flask and React, securing 10,000+ user accounts with 99.9% uptime"

Comic Strip 2: Interview Prep That Works

Master the 3 questions you MUST nail

1. "Tell me about a time you failed"

What they want: Self-awareness, learning, growth

Structure: Situation → What went wrong → What you learned → How you improved

❌ Don't: Blame others, pick a personal issue, say "I don't fail"

✅ Do: Own it, show what you learned, prove you applied the lesson

2. "Walk me through [project name] architecture"

What they want: Technical depth, decision-making, trade-offs

Structure: High-level overview → Dive into 2-3 key components → Explain why you chose them

❌ Don't: Jump straight to tiny details, memorize a script

✅ Do: Start broad, go deep when asked, explain trade-offs

3. "Why are you interested in this company?"

What they want: You actually researched them, fit with their needs

❌ Don't: "Great culture", "learning opportunity" (everyone says this)

✅ Do: Reference their tech stack, recent projects, specific problems you can solve

Comic Strip 3: When AI Helps (and When It Doesn't)

Know when to use AI and when to stay away

✅ When AI Actually Helps

Summarizing long documents/emails
Generating meeting notes with action items
Quick data analysis in Sheets
Draft responses to common questions
Extracting key points from research
Brainstorming ideas/approaches

❌ When It Doesn't Help

Technical/specialized content (AI guesses)
Legal or medical documents
Anything requiring 100% accuracy
Math proofs or complex calculations
Real-time/current event info
Financial advice or medical diagnosis

Red Flags for Unreliable AI Output

Gives different answers to the same question
Overly detailed when you asked for summary (hallucination)
No sources provided for factual claims
Generic advice when you need specifics
"As of my knowledge cutoff..." (info might be outdated)
