SCORES ARE UP!
Disney Streaming Services I completed my interview process with DSS early last week, and was reached out by recruiter that all rounds were strong hires, and they are extending an offer. We set a time to talk on Friday about the offer. However, the announcement of targeted hiring freeze happened on Friday. I was ghosted with no call. What should I expect now? Would I still have chance to be offered?
Why we gotta have resumes, just trust me bro...
LA vs Boston. Which city pays higher? Big4 tax

That's a smart approach. Something I realized, mostly through doing it wrong and learning from my mistakes, is that most people in a meeting are not going to absorb a lot of different points. Your approach of providing two clear points makes a lot of sense. I always try to streamline whatever I have to talk about, and I assume if I can get a few things across I've accomplished a lot. If I try to deliver too much it all gets muddled.

that's very clever! people dont want to be overloaded wiht information. they want a small insight and thats it
I have similar experiences when it comes to preparing for meetings where I know I’ll have to talk or present. I would find myself making notes on what I was going to say and practicing that. I noticed that when I did that I would have a harder time presenting the information. I realized that going over what I was going to say so many times led to me to lightly memorizing it. It was be easy for me to get thrown off during the meeting if someone interrupted to ask a question or if I missed a point because I wasn’t going in the order I had practiced in.
Now I try not to practice what I’m going to say as much. How much I go over my talking points depends on how serious or important the meeting is. Generally speaking I try not to add too many details to my talking points and just trust myself with knowing what I’m talking about. I try to have my talking points be a high level overview of what I want to say and use it as a guide so that I don’t forget to mention anything important and keep a good flow of what I’m saying.
TLDR: I don’t plan word for word. I give myself high-level talking points to guide myself while I’m talking. I try not to over prepare or rehearse what I’m going to say, and just trust my knowledge and ability to explain the topic.
