Freytag's Pyramid Story Structure

Use the same narrative framework that captivates audiences in films and novels for your job application.

Professional Storytelling Framework

Freytag's Pyramid is a five-act dramatic structure used by Hollywood screenwriters and bestselling authors. We adapt it for job applications:

  1. Exposition: Your background and the opportunity
  2. Rising Action: The challenges and what you bring
  3. Climax: Your unique value proposition
  4. Falling Action: How you'll deliver results
  5. Resolution: Your vision for the role

This creates a narrative arc that hiring managers remember and discuss.
