Included in the series

A one-on-one session before your real interview

When a real interview is coming up, book one hour alone with Rossano to prepare for it: your stories, the firm, the questions you expect and a final run-through.

The four-workshop series

Four workshops, one complete performance

Each workshop is 3 hours: one hour of theory, two hours of live drills in pairs and small groups.

  1. The Role 角色

    Perform who you are: blend your story with technical substance

    • STAR+ stories with a reflection
    • The Technical Interruptor drill
    • A mock interview with a director's cut debrief
  2. The Script 台词

    Make every word count: answers built to be remembered

    • Hook, core, evidence, implication
    • A recorded 90-second monologue
    • A live round with a communication scorecard
  3. The Ensemble 群戏

    Read the room: composure and rapport under pressure

    • The mid-answer pivot
    • The Curveball Carousel
    • A mock interview scored on rapport
  4. The Improvisation 即兴

    Thrive in the unexpected: adapt when the case shifts

    • Scenario shifts mid-question
    • Ambiguous cases with no right answer
    • A 15-minute capstone in front of a peer panel

How it works

Prepare, practice, get feedback, apply it

The work doesn't stop when a workshop ends. Each step feeds the next one.

  1. Prepare

    Before Workshop 1 you complete the Pre-Workshop Workbook: your interview history, an honest self-assessment and the raw material for your stories.

  2. Practice

    In each 3-hour workshop, one hour of theory is followed by two hours of live drills in pairs and small groups.

  3. Get feedback

    Scorecards, recorded playback and debriefs from your peers and the instructor show exactly what to fix.

  4. Apply it

    After each workshop, a short reflection and a practice task to finish before the next session. You leave with three polished stories and a Personal Action Plan.
