The second minute is what turns an interesting candidate into one you absolutely want to meet. This canvas helps you tell, in one minute, the concrete story that proves your value.

What’s in the canvas

• The STAR framework to fill in: Situation, Task, Action, Result.
• A timed breakdown: set up the challenge (0–15 s), show your action (15–45 s), reveal the impact (45–60 s).
• Cues to pick the right story and tell it in the first person.

How to use it

Choose a single achievement you’re proud of, fill in the framework, then tell it out loud until the story flows naturally.
