I used Claude to help me get 4 job offers in less than 6 weeks of interviewing. Not by asking it to “give me interview answers.” I used it to understand one distinction that changed how I interviewed: Performing vs. proving. Performing sounds like: “I’m an excellent project manager with strong stakeholder management and communication skills.” It sounds good. It proves absolutely nothing. Proving sounds like: “I inherited a project that was already behind schedule, rebuilt the delivery plan, created a weekly risk escalation process and got the team to go-live on the revised date.” Now the interviewer has evidence. So here’s what I did with Claude: I pasted the job description and my resume and prompted: “For each major requirement in this job description, identify what the interviewer will need me to prove. Then find the strongest evidence from my experience that demonstrates it. Flag anything I’m claiming without enough evidence.” Then I built my interview stories around those proof points. That meant I stopped trying to sound impressive. Every answer had a job: Claim → Evidence → Result → Relevance “I’m good at X” became: Here’s where I did X. Here’s what I specifically did. Here’s what changed because of it. Here’s why that matters for this role. That’s the difference. Performing asks the interviewer to believe you. Proving gives them a reason to. #joboffers #jobsearch #interviewquestions #interview
