I used to freeze when asked about my background. The 25×4 coaches taught me how to redirect conversations toward my skills and what I can offer. I landed a position that has turned into a career path, not just a job.

The mock interviews were tough but exactly what I needed. My coach asked the difficult questions I was afraid of, and we worked through responses until I felt confident. When those questions came up in my real interview, I was prepared and got the job.
