Start a “Job Search Debrief” After Every Interview

Interviews are like boss battles in, like in the Dark Souls games.

Whether you win or lose, you learn.

Most job seekers move on without reflecting.

That’s a missed opportunity when playing the job-hunting game.

⸻

🎯 Why It’s Powerful:

✅ Helps you improve performance with each round

✅ Keeps your confidence grounded in data, not emotions

✅ Makes it easier to spot patterns in the feedback or questions you’re getting

✅ Helps you write more personalized follow-ups

⸻

📝 What to Include in Your Debrief:

1. What went well?

→ Did you build rapport? Nail a story? Ask thoughtful questions?

2. What could have gone better?

→ Did you blank on a question? Talk too much? Miss the “why us”?

3. What questions were asked?

→ Save them — they’ll likely appear again in future interviews.

4. Did you mention your key strengths?

→ If not, you know what to prioritize next time.

5. How did you feel after the interview?

→ Gut checks are useful for culture fit awareness. Trust me on this one.

⸻

🔁 Bonus Power-Up:

Create a simple excel spreadsheet or Notion board where you log every interview.

If you’re not the Excel spreadsheet kind of person like me, check out Huntr and Teal below.

Both have a feature where you can keep track of the roles you apply to.

Over time, you’ll have a tactical database of what’s working and what needs refining so you’re not moving in the dark.

Think of this as a post-battle review in your quest log. The better you track the fights, the faster you level up.

If you want more 1:1 help, you can book a personalized coaching session to tailor your profile and resume.

So, Paramount just dropped a massive layoff this past week.

That’s 2,000 to 3,000 employees right before the holidays….

This is a tough reminder that your job doesn’t actually belong to you… it belongs to the company writing your paycheck.

I’ve been there myself. When I was laid off on Halloween last year, trust me, Thanksgiving food and Christmas music were the last things on my mind.

What can we learn from this?

That’s why you need to level up your strategy, when you think about work:

While your job belongs to the company, your career belongs to you.

Don’t wait for the Game Over screen to start planning your next move.

I’ll be breaking down different companies in a new series I’m working on YouTube channel.

In this new age of looking for work and work, you can’t just play defense, Job Seeker.
