Don't fake product affinity
Use "For every JD line, prep a 60-second STAR story and a one-line headline" to say what you would do next.
Step 1 of 2
Don't fake product affinity. Cursor's screens are known to probe whether you genuinely use and care about the product and a thin “I love AI tools” answer collapses under one follow-up. If you've used Cursor, name something concrete you do with it; if you haven't, install it and build something small before the screen so your answer is real.
For every JD line, prep a 60-second STAR story and a one-line headline. When asked about resilience, lead with the headline - “I had a quarter where I missed in month one, diagnosed my opener as the problem, rewrote it and finished at 110%” - then expand only if they want detail. Specific, measured and self-diagnosed beats any adjective.
