Problem
Haniel Nduka followed City Careers Coach on TikTok while juggling coursework and a part‑time job. Despite decent grades, he lacked commercial fluency, and any idea how to translate extracurriculars into corporate‑law currency. US VS places typically accept fewer than two percent of applicants; most winners arrive with Oxbridge credentials and internships.
With no budget, Haniel needed a zero‑cost strategy to beat automated screens, craft persuasive motivational answers, and deliver a memorable HireVue—usually weeks of work.
Solution
Crafted 60‑second PEAL‑3™ “Why law?” on TikTok Live → application progressed to interview.
Completed 250‑word PEAL‑X™ linking climate‑finance dissertation to Perkins Coie renewable‑energy M&A → recruiter flagged “strong.”
Rehearsed 90‑second macro‑pitch ×3; recorded HireVue in one take with STAR‑3™ hooks.
Result
With just a few hours of free content consumption, Haniel vaulted from zero experience to a Perkins Coie Vacation Scheme—an outcome many chase for months. Confidence rose 4 → 9/10, proving precision frameworks via social media can smash the two‑percent barrier.
