Landed on the green yesterday. First hole. Par 3.
Starting strong.
Here's the thing about golf:
You never get that first hole back. You either set the tone for the round or you spend the next 17 holes trying to recover from a bad start. Every golfer knows this. The first tee shot either settles your nerves or buries you.
A double bogey on hole 1 and you're grinding all day.
A birdie putt on hole 1 and suddenly everything feels possible.
Interviews work the same way.
The first 30 seconds either set the tone or put you in a hole that gets deeper with every answer. And most candidates double bogey the opening before a single real question is asked.
They sit down. Dead air. "How are you?" "Good." Papers shuffle. Then they launch into a 4-minute resume monologue and the hiring manager checks out before the second sentence.
That's a drive into the trees on hole 1. And now you're grinding for the next 45 minutes trying to recover.
But the candidates who start strong — who walk in and do something in the first 30 seconds that makes the hiring manager look up from their papers — they set the tone for everything that follows. The conversation is different. The energy is different. The outcome is different.
There are 7 words that do this. Takes about two seconds.
