Master Chats & Interviews: Prep, Presence, & Follow-Up for Success
This lesson from Yale's Hunt course on job searching and career building with purpose covers both informal networking conversations and formal job interviews as related skills requiring similar preparation. The lecture walks through how to prepare content and presence before a conversation, how to carry oneself during it, and how to follow up afterward in a way that keeps momentum going. It draws on the pitch and networking frameworks from earlier lessons, applying them directly to live conversational settings. The session treats interview and networking skill as trainable rather than innate, offering concrete steps students can practice before real conversations.
