Reflection on My Antler Interview
What Went Wrong
- I messed up my Antler “interview,” partly because I couldn’t stop my education professor from talking, which made me join the meeting late.
- Joining late obviously gave off a bad impression.
- After that, I couldn’t clearly explain the unique edge that I have.
- I also came across as if I was building a communication coach without actually being a communication coach. That was a perfect example of how things went wrong.
- Overall, it just felt bad, and I’m trying to reflect on why it went this way.
My Key Realizations
- I’m not very clear on my unique edge—my specific insight that sets me apart.
- I wasn’t fully mindful during the conversation, which wasn’t my intention, but that lack of presence hurt my performance.
- He ended up rejecting me from the March batch, which is totally understandable. I didn’t give him a reason to choose me over the next batch.
- I just didn’t convince him that I was worth it.
How I Feel
- I hate that this is how it went.
- I messed up, and I really don’t want to mess up again.
Moving Forward
- I want to build a platform that helps me avoid repeating the same mistakes.
- My next step is to figure out what I need to reflect on this effectively.
- I also plan to reach out to him and hope he’s willing to chat.
