As you advance through interview rounds make the response progressively more detailed, esp on the role / company based on learnings from previous rounds

1) Industry - show excitement for space / add specific context to industry
2) Role - self explanatory
3) Company - sprinkle knowledge from earnings transcripts, networking convos etc

I personalize it with “I spoke to xx and xx feel very bullish about your company’s growth in these specific ways” in addition to culture and interest in industry

I show interest in the problem the role is trying to solve, what makes it complicated, essentially make it feel like an on-the-spot PS.
It's consistent with Mck brand, and reinforces that i'm a problem solver. They are also more likely to open up on what they think is the real issue.

When drafting a brief or other submissions for court or arbitration, do you use words such as clearly, erroneously, etc. to emphasize certain points? Our managing partner says that we should, but all of the writing guides for litigators that I've read repeats the mantra "show, don't tell" and explain that most judges dread such words.

I know that the politically correct thing to do here is to do whatever the managing partner wants me to do, but I just wanted to ask for other ppl's opinion.
