Questions
Three beats: one specific fact about the product or team, how your skills fit the role, and why now. Avoid flattery. Name a detail you can say confidently without reading notes.
Describe credible growth that still helps this employer: scope, skills, and how that serves the team. Keep the English concrete. Avoid a plan that sounds like you will leave in a year.
Research one concrete thing — a launch, a tech choice, or a customer — and say why it matches the work you want. Honesty plus one specific beats a fake “I use it every day.” Interviewers hear invented fandom immediately.
One short clause on the limit of the current role, then more time on what you want next. “I have shipped the current roadmap; I want a larger scope in X.” Do not list complaints about your manager. Western panels hear bitterness as a risk.
Name two role-fit strengths and prove each with one line of evidence. “I am strong at incident communication — I ran the last three Sev-1 updates to the exec channel.” Proof is not bragging. A list of adjectives is.
Write three bullets, not a paragraph. Practise saying them in different orders. Include one fact you found this week so it cannot be a generic script. If you forget a word, keep the fact and drop the polish.
Only if they ask, or if it is the reason you can start. Do not lead “why this company” with immigration. Lead with the work. You can add “I am already authorised” or “I need visa sponsorship” when they ask about logistics.
Separate them. Level is about scope; salary is about market. “I am targeting mid-level / L4-equivalent scope. For pay I am using London / Bay bands for that level.” Mixing them into one anxious sentence makes both sound negotiable from fear.
