Use story anchors
For each example, remember four anchors: the problem, your decision, the result, and the lesson. The anchors survive follow-up questions better than memorized prose.
Practice different openings
Answer the same question in 30 seconds, 90 seconds, and three minutes. Start with the conclusion, then add only the detail the interviewer asks for.
Treat a copilot suggestion as notes
If you use Beak, glance for the relevant example or structure, then speak in your own words. Correct anything that does not match your experience.
