Short YouTube advice clip (Alli Peck) explaining how job seekers should convey their impact in interviews: instead of only naming a role or product, describe concrete actions (e.g., wrote the feature list), cross-functional partners/departments worked with, and how those actions improved the product/user experience. The speaker emphasizes framing work in terms of broader impact that recruiters care about.

Chapters

Let's go through an example of just how to convey your impact as a job seeker in an interview. Again, this is important because the recruiter doesn't want to know what you did at your previous company. They want to know what you did and the impact it had on the bigger picture. Instead of telling people that you were a product manager who worked on an app that taught people how to study for school, you need to tell people that you are a product manager and you were the one that wrote the list of features that went into the app during development. Tell us which departments you worked for, cross functionally. Tell us how your features improved the app for users. These are the kind of things that recruiters want to hear in an interview. And thanks to CLL for the inspo.
