The Closer
It's working. The risk now is what happens when these ones end.
What's actually happening
You're getting real conversations, which is the hard part and puts you ahead of most people who take this. The failure mode from here is having three live processes and watching two end in the same week. That is ordinary, and it is much harder to absorb when there is nothing behind them — a pipeline takes weeks to refill and an offer takes days to disappear.

Keep applying while you're interviewing
The most common mistake at this stage is stopping. A pipeline takes weeks to refill and offers take days to disappear.

Write down what you actually said
The answers that worked in the last conversation are the ones to reuse, and they're gone within a day if nothing is written down.
- 3
Say the hard answer out loud once
The question you know is coming and haven't practiced. Written answers fall apart out loud, and that is discovered live if it isn't discovered first.
Where to start
You're in conversations now — the work has moved from applying to what you say.
