6 strategies I used to overcome rambling and be more concise:

1/ Bring notes to help me recall stories for common interview questions

2/ Use frameworks like STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to organize my responses

3/ Use the "Rule of Three" when I respond to a question - I don't share more than 3 bullet points or
items (people can't keep track of more than 3 items at a time)

Example: Three changes really stood out that impacted our company. These changes were X, Y, and Z…

4/ Pause more between my thoughts (you don't have to be talking every second)

5 Limit my responses to 60-90 seconds

6/ Practice by recording myself (I recommend video to see your body language, hand gestures, etc.)
