A simple and powerful method to handle any interview or questioning based on neuroscience and tactical empathy.

THE MBL METHOD(Mirror, Breathe, Label, method by Nicolas Luna, inspired from Chris Voss's amazing work)

✓1.🪞 Mirror the questions Examples of mirroring (repeat the last few words):

↳Interviewer: "Tell me about a challenging situation you faced at work."

↳You: "A challenging situation at work?"

↳Interviewer: "Yes, how did you handle it?📍This technique helps you gain time to think and encourages the interviewer to elaborate.

✓2.🫁 Take a deep breath to calm your nerves

✓3.🏷️ Label the interviewer's intent Example of labeling: ↳Interviewer: "Can you walk me through a project where you had to meet a tight deadline?"

↳You: "It sounds like you're interested in understanding how I manage time pressure and prioritize tasks under constraints. ↳Interviewer: "exactly! Tell me something about it!"📍This technique helps clarify the interviewer's intentions and create a connection.

💡💡ADDITIONAL TIPS
