No, it's not luck.

Well, it kind of is luck if you define luck as being preparation meeting opportunity.

They've just prepared.

12
So I'm going to give you the top 10 list that he gave me.
13
All right, you ready?
14
This is the top 10 list of questions.
15
The first one, inevitably, and you must be prepared for this question.

Whereas most people, they just go into the interview and go, I'm just going to wing it.
17
I'll think in the moment.
18
And you know, just, just, right.

So then do you have any questions for us?
41
We know, all of us, we know that these are the most common questions, yet we don't prepare.

51
so say i'm interviewing they So Vin, tell us a little bit about yourself.
52
I can use a childhood story, and I call these origin stories.
53
I think using an origin story when they say, tell us a little bit about yourself, is extremely powerful because it shows them who you are,
54
it builds rapport, and if you can link that story into the position that you're applying for, match made in heaven.
55
Hello Vin, welcome to Apple.
56
We can tell you're very excited, you haven't been able to stop shaking your leg for the last 15 minutes while you were in the waiting room.
57
But Vin, tell us, before we begin, tell us a little bit about yourself.
58
Thank you for noticing the leg shaking thing.
59
Look if I had to tell you a little bit about me, there's one memory that comes to mind.
60
When I was young, I gotta ask you this, what do you think a 13 year old boy wants more than anything.
61
A PlayStation sex?
62
Well, close.
63
Love.
64
It's love.
65
And thank you, Brad, for being so transparent.
66
But I wanted to find love.
67
And Brad, I remember asking my dad for advice.
68
And I asked my dad, I said, Dad, I want to find love.
69
What do I do?
70
And you know what my dad said to me?
71
My dad says, looks me dead in the eyes, 13.
72
And he goes, OK, no money, no honey, man.
73
And I thought, damn it, Dad, that's really wise of you.
74
It rhymes like Eminem.
75
So I thought to myself, okay, how am I going to make money as a 13 year old?
76
And that's when I discovered eBay.
77
And one of the things about me, Brad, is I'm an early adopter.
78
So my friends didn't know what eBay was at the time.
79
It was 1999.
80
So I got onto eBay, I borrowed my mom and dad's credit card, borrowed, and I purchased 30 mp3 players and I sold them to my friends for double the price.
81
I love entrepreneurship.
82
And as a result of doing that, I made double the amount of money parents were truly pissed off, but that set me off on a journey.
83
It set me on the journey of entrepreneurship.
84
And as an entrepreneur my entire life, I'm an early adopter.
85
So whether it comes to MP3 plays, whether it comes to the latest AI that's coming out, one of the platforms I've been playing with is Udeo,
86
and Udeo is a wonderful platform that can use AI to create music.
87
Whether it's the Apple Vision Pro, I'm on it.
88
I'm an early adopter.
89
And I share this story about my past with you because that's why I'm applying for this role, is I know that for someone in the head of innovation,
90
you need someone that's not just saying the right things and talking about technology.
91
You want someone who's actually an early adopter, who's living and breathing things that are just coming out.
92
I don't wait until it's cheaper.
93
I don't wait until it's been in the market for three, four years.
94
I'm the first one waiting in line in an Apple store.
95
And when you release the Apple iPhone 16, you can bet your butt I'm gonna be there at 6 a.m.
96
I'm an early adopter.
97
That's why I'm perfect for this role.
98
Again, right, that's me spending about three and a half minutes, three and a half minutes sharing a story.
99
Now there's laughing moments, they're like, oh, no money, no honey, that's a good one.
100
I built rapport, there's endorphins flowing through their body.
101
I've been conversational with friends.
102
I ask them questions.
103
The entire interview situation now is relaxed.
104
Again, you know that when you storytell dopamine, endorphins, oxytocin, all these wonderful chemicals.
105
Now, the rest of the interview, they're going to treat you like a friend.
106
They're not going to sit there and be like, question to question to question to question.
107
No, when you invest three minutes into storytelling like that, all of a sudden, they're not interviewing you as a potential candidate,
108
they're interviewing you now as a friend.
109
So create a wonderful origin story, and this is gonna revolutionize the way you do job interviews.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
