Why communication skills for job interviews matter

• Presence: tone, pace, and eye contact build trust fast.
• Clarity: short, specific answers are easier to remember.
• Adaptability: real interviews include surprises and follow-ups.

What AI can help with—and what only you can do

AI can: refine your CV, suggest sample answers, and run mock interviews.

AI can’t: make eye contact, adjust body language, show empathy, or handle unexpected questions for you.

Show up as a human: tone, body language, connection

• Tone: warm, steady, not rushed. Smile with your voice.
• Body language: open posture, natural gestures, nod when listening.
• Connection: use names, reflect the question, link to a real example.

Answer like a pro (clear & concise)

Use the PAR method—Problem • Action • Result—in 30–60 seconds.

• “The problem was… I took action by… The result was…”
• Add numbers or proof if you can: “reduced response time by 25%.”

Handle follow-up questions

• Clarify: “Do you want more detail on the timeline or the result?”
• Bridge: “Here’s a similar case where we scaled it to 3 teams.”
• Admit & add: “I don’t know yet. I’d test A/B and report back in a week.”

Mini practice (10 minutes)

1. Pick 3 recent wins. Write one PAR line for each.
2. Record a 60-second answer on your phone. Re-listen once.
3. Repeat with a friend—ask for 1 note on tone and clarity.
