The 90-second “why Cursor, why this role”
Match each case in "The 90-second 'why Cursor, why this role'" to the signal and response that fit it.
Step 1 of 3
What “good” sounds like
Specific situation, your actions (not the team's), a quantified result.
Named the value without forcing it: “this was a reliability thing for me.”
Honest about the messy parts; warmth comes through unprompted.
What sinks an answer
Vague, hypothetical or all “we” with no “I.”
No result or a result you can't quantify or even describe.
A failure story that's secretly a brag, which fails the truth-seeking screen.
