87. How to Land More Interviews in 2026

You're landing interviews. You're just not getting invited back.

If that's where you are right now, this episode is the one. Because here's what most job seekers don't realize: if you're getting phone screens but not converting them to the next round at least 80% of the time, the problem isn't your resume, your qualifications, or the market. It's the first 60 seconds of how you answer that very first question.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact pitch framework I teach inside my coaching programs, the same one that takes my clients from being ghosted after phone screens to generating real options. You'll learn why "tell me about yourself" is the most important question of the entire interview, why walking someone through your resume is the fastest way to lose them, and how to lead the conversation instead of waiting for a question to react to.

Inside this episode:
 ✔️ Why phone screens are being lost in the first 60 seconds
 ✔️ The 80% conversion benchmark every job seeker should be hitting
 ✔️ How to answer "tell me about yourself" so they invite you back
 ✔️ The three ways the pitch question shows up and how to handle each
 ✔️ The exact framework: opening, journey, future facing close
 ✔️ Why showing up as a leader in the interview beats reacting to questions
 ✔️ How to stand out as the human candidate in an AI heavy market

If you've been ghosted after interviews you thought went well, this episode will change how you walk into the next one.
