Key Takeaways
Structure your professional story around a pivot point: describe what you originally thought you would do, the specific moment you realized that path was wrong, and how that led you to your current expertise.
Show you can do the job by actually doing it before the interview, such as auditing the company's product or interviewing their customers to provide real feedback and insights.
