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"
Submit Your Resume Bullet
Paste one weak bullet from your resume, then paste the AI-improved STAR version you'll actually use. Explain why you picked that version.
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)
