In this segment, the speaker advocates for leveraging AI tools to streamline the job‑search preparation process. AI can instantly gather detailed information about a target company, its managers, and the specific role, and can also generate mock interview questions aligned with popular response frameworks such as STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) or DIRE (Describe, Impact, Result, Example). The AI provides suggested answers, but the speaker stresses that candidates must inject their own personal stories and concrete achievements—e.g., hiring 20 people and boosting productivity by 50%—to make the responses authentic and compelling. While a professional coach is still valuable, the speaker positions AI as a fast, cost‑effective alternative that delivers most of the research and preparation work in seconds, leaving the candidate to personalize and add value.

All of this would take so much time for me. You have to hire a coach. I'm not saying don't hire a coach, but you can use this. If I get a job, I can do the research on the company very quickly. I can do the research on the manager. I can do research on, on the job, and it can also do a mock interview for you. 20 to 30, you can do the STAR methodology or you can do the DIRE methodology. and it will give you the questions and answers, how you should prepare for the job interview and optimize it. You have these tools which can give all that information at your fingertips in 1 second, and why not use it? Again, if this is what it is telling, it's giving you everything to optimize it, and it does a very good job of what you need to do, and then you customize it. It doesn't know your personal story. That's where you— your value comes in, where you can personalize your story and, and say, you know what, I helped the company to become better. I hired 20 people, uh, spending less time, and my productivity went up 50%.
