I have been with PwC for more than 10 years and really looking to change. However haven’t interviewed in a while and was wondering if there are advice from the fish fam that might make this journey to a new job a tad bit easier.

Think of the interview like you’re going on a talk show and telling stories. Each line of your resume prompts a story that highlights the skills in the job description.

Great advice.

Script out your elevator pitch on “tell me about yourself” and motivation for leaving. Motivation for leaving can change based on company you interview with. For example I had a different format for start ups vs fortune 100. Memorize it. You will use it in every interview at every stage.
