Course overview

The truth about how hires are actually chosen and what that means for you.

Through my coaching over the past several years, I've helped a lot of people get hired. There are some very clear patterns to what is getting in the way, so I have turned this into a course that will help you stand out and win.


Most interview advice recycles the same basic checklists. Some experts even help you up-level your game further, building a stronger resume and better answers to key interview questions like, "Tell me about yourself..."


Yet, strong candidates like you don't get the offer.


Why? What are you missing?


There are patterns and reasons behind how hiring really works, but these reasons are rooted much deeper than most people realize or teach.


Hiring is actually about how people's brains evaluate who they trust, who they like, who they feel they understand, who they connect with, what worries them, excites them, and who their biases are comfortable with. Hiring isn't just about skills, fit, and the job. It's much deeper, and much more human than that.


This course covers things not even the interviewers know about themselves. If the CIA had a course on how to be sure you get the job, this would be it. You will learn the truth behind how people think and how they make decisions, making you top 0.1% in communicating, differentiating yourself, and landing the job.


If you saw me on Lenny's podcast, you know a little bit about my background in behavioral science and how it helped me win as a multi-time entrepreneur. What I want to share with you in this course is how to win at interviews by powerfully connecting with people's brains, not just doing the surface stuff every other candidate does.


You'll understand things nobody else knows. You'll understand exactly how the interviewers' minds work. You'll understand how you are seen through their eyes. And you'll understand what you might be getting wrong and what you need to start getting right. This course won't just help you today...it will help you stand out in every interview you have for the rest of your life, changing the trajectory of your whole career.


Interview Mastery is a laser-focused spin-off from my highly-rated first Maven Course (How to Sell Yourself & Your Ideas), designed to focus 100% on the subject of hiring, turning you into the easiest, safest, most obvious “yes” a hiring team can make.

What makes this course different?


Built on real brain science. Learn how the hiring manager's evaluation "circuitry" inside their brain actually works, not how we wish it worked.


Learn how to tailor your message. Different people need a different message from you. Instantly read the Operator, Craftsperson, or Visionary across the table and adjust your approach on the fly.


Mindset-based storytelling. Don't just talk about your past and your results...learn to describe your ultimate differentiator: the unique, compelling mind behind your experiences.


Diagnostic toolkit. Take the mystery out of your struggles...you’ll isolate why you're having challenges and learn how to fix it without sacrificing your authenticity.


Two hidden levers less than 1% of interviewees know about. You’ll learn about the two blind spots that quietly undermine you in interviews...insights almost no one teaches.


===


Why break this out from the broader How to Sell Yourself & Your Ideas Course?


It makes more sense to separately address the needs of people interviewing vs. people who are trying to sell themselves and their ideas once they are in the role. This way, you get the most out of each toolkit and you'll be in a cohort of people with the exact same needs and challenges as you.


Ready to start winning?


Ready to learn how you can engineer a “yes” instead of hoping for good luck?

What you’ll get out of this course

Learn the two key things most people mess up.

There are two keys to the interviewing process that almost nobody knows. Without these keys, most people interviewing accidentally make themselves less unique, less understood, and less desirable in the interview process.

Learn to tailor your approach to the audience

Every person you interview with is a different person with a different personality, yet most candidates say the same things to everyone. This leads to mixed reactions. Learn how to quickly tell what kind of person you're speaking to and how to speak in language that resonates.

Understand the brain science behind successful interviews

You aren't just having discussions with the people you're interviewing with...deeper down, you are causing reactions in their brains that make them subconsciously decide whether or not you're the right person. If you're creating the wrong reactions, winning is impossible.

Crush "Tell me about yourself..."

The opening question of most interviews sets the stage for the whole conversation. Learn how to open strong, setting the tone for you to be understood, remembered, and differentiated. This question is so much more important than people realize.

Build a framework for reflection and improvement

For people who have been interviewing for a while, it can be confusing to understand what might be going wrong and what, exactly, to work on. In this course, you'll learn how to accurately analyze your track record and spot exactly what you need to learn and implement.

Understand fit

The concept of fit is important in both directions. You need to show how you are a fit for the role and the company, but you also need to know what you can expect once you get there so you can make the best decision for you.

Sell yourself so well, you'll actually be allowed to do your job

It can feel like getting the job is the goal, but once you're there, are you going to truly have permission and a platform to do great work, rack up wins, and grow? Surprisingly, the permission to do great work starts during the interview process.

Have a medium and long-term game plan

This course is going to help you get your next job, of course. But it's also going to help you get every job you'll ever get. At the end of the course, we'll talk about the importance of seeing the next job as a big step in an even bigger journey.

What people are saying

        A key takeaway from Evan's course is the importance of managing the "experience" you create for others. Evan's scientifically-informed strategies ensure so much more clarity and drive the kind of experience that gets you completely different results. This eye-opening knowledge helped me immensely.

        I revised my "tell me about yourself" and used it in an interview today with an operator / craftsperson persona, and it landed REALLY well--she kept referencing what I said throughout the interview...it clearly resonated and gave the interview so much structure and clarity. This was such an immediate difference in how an interview can feel.

I founded several companies. Sold the last one to Adobe. Now, I help people win.

I've been successfully selling myself, my team, my products, and ideas for a long time, supercharged by psychology and behavioral science. I sold my last company to Adobe and have since been coaching hundreds of people from founders to product people to analytics, UX, and more how to stand out, achieve peak performance, build incredible cultures, create ideal teaming dynamics, and be understood, appreciated, and valued.


You might have seen my episode on Lenny's Podcast, where we discussed fundamentals of how the mind works, and how that applies to product work and more. I help people win, specifically great humans who feel purpose in their work. When they win, everyone wins.
