If you haven’t had prior experience as client facing advisor, prepare a story that headlines your experience with listening to a problem, asking clarifying questions and coming to an agreed solution or next steps based on the specific needs uncovered in your interaction. It could be work based, but equally valid would be advice given as a parent to a child or to a friend based on your experience with the topic.

Dazzling the interviewer with your financial smarts should take second place to showing your ability to be human and persuasive at the same time.

I am a contract employee that was just brought on a month ago. I have done well with onboarding and learning their tech. I have now been asked to design an architecture for an upcoming project, and document it all. Nothing at this company has been well documented before. I have a feeling they just planning to use my previous experience and then let me go since my pay is high. Is there a way I can safeguard against this?
