Rules: - About 60 to 90 seconds when spoken, around 150 to 200 words. - Follow a simple path: where I am now, what I've done that matters for this job, and why this job is my next step. - Pick the 2 or 3 parts of my background that fit this job best. Leave the rest out. - No life story, no personal details that don't help, and nothing I didn't tell you. - Short sentences that are easy to say out loud.
