How Should You Use This Resource?

To get the best results, use this resource in a structured, practical way:

Start by reading the full guide once to understand how hiring managers think and how the PST framework works.

Next, use the reflection questions to identify your strongest career stories, achievements, and motivations. This step builds the foundation for your script.

Then, draft your introduction using the fill-in worksheet. Focus on capturing your Position, Story, and Transition clearly—don’t aim for perfection in the first draft.

Once your script is ready, practise delivering it out loud. Record yourself, refine your language, and ensure it sounds natural—not memorised.

After that, customise your introduction for specific roles using the personalisation checklist. Tailor your examples, achievements, and motivation for each opportunity.

Finally, adapt your script for different contexts—shorter for networking, more structured for interviews, and concise for written outreach.

Revisit and refine your introduction regularly as your experience grows and your career goals evolve.
