In this brief segment, the speaker advises candidates—especially those interviewing for senior technical lead roles—to prepare written notes highlighting concrete project experiences, such as migrating an Angular codebase to React. By having these prompts on hand, interviewees can counteract the common tendency to "black out" under pressure, ensuring they can recall and articulate relevant achievements clearly during the interview.

While I feel like I'm really, really good at reciting my career, I still can't remember everything. When you go into an interview, jot some things down as it relates to the job. If you're interviewing for a senior tech lead, well, you need to migrate an Angular codebase to React, and you've done that before. Give me specifics and walk into the interview with that written down. You will most likely black out a little bit. Anybody in here do an interview, just black out? You're like, oh gosh, I've done it. I've done it. It's awful, right? Have some prompts written down in front of you.
