Before you get started

Your questions, answered.

Are the interview materials available now?

Yes. Buy the six-workbook bundle for $27 or choose an individual workbook for $4.97. After successful payment, download instructions are sent to the email address you use at checkout.

Are these resources part of The Inside Game?

The workbooks are sold separately from The Inside Game course. Choose the $27 bundle or a $4.97 individual workbook here. The course has its own offer, lessons, and resources; view its details page to compare what is included.

Can I use the resources for different job roles?

Yes. Use the frameworks across different roles, then adapt your examples to the responsibilities and requirements of the specific position. Start with the workbook that matches your next conversation.

What format will I receive?

Each workbook is a four-page fillable PDF. The bundle includes all six individual PDFs plus a combined 24-page workbook in a ZIP file. Save the files and use a PDF reader to fill in the worksheets, or print them. These are digital resources; no physical item, videos, or coaching sessions are included.

Does preparation guarantee an interview or job offer?

No. Preparation can help you communicate your experience more clearly, but employers make hiring decisions. No interview, offer, or employment outcome is guaranteed.
