🎬 FILM REVIEW β€” MODEL HIREVUE RESPONSES

STARTT

🟩 🟩 🟩 


Thai Koehnle | MAP Blue Chips '26 | Cornell University Men's Swimming & Diving 🏊


Thai’s STARTT response is polished, composed, and extremely well-balanced, combining strong technical fluency with a calm conversational delivery that never feels overly robotic or rehearsed. His pacing remains smooth and controlled throughout, and the sharp professional presentation paired with confident eye contact helps create an immediate sense of maturity and preparedness for high-level recruiting conversations.


He does an excellent job blending technical language around markets and finance with more personable storytelling, allowing the response to feel both intelligent and highly relatable at the same time. The overall structure is very organized, and he consistently ties his experiences back to teamwork, communication, and why he would thrive in a fast-paced Sales & Trading environment. There’s very little constructive feedback here β€” outside of a few moments where slightly more vocal energy could elevate emphasis during key points, this is an exceptionally strong postseason response that already feels highly recruiter-ready for competitive front-office interviews!

ESPY

🟩 🟩 🟩 


Angelina Chen | MAP Blue Chips '26 | Brown University Women's Swimming & Diving 🏊


Angelina’s ESPY response is conversational, thoughtful, and incredibly engaging from start to finish, creating an immediate sense of authenticity through her relaxed tone and natural storytelling ability. Her delivery flows smoothly throughout, and the balance between confidence, energy, and professionalism makes the response feel polished without ever sounding overly scripted or forced.


She does an outstanding job connecting her prior experiences back to why she’s specifically drawn to Sales & Trading, using strong examples and clear reasoning that make her motivations feel highly credible and intentional. The way she references both her work and broader market interests helps the response feel personalized and memorable, while still maintaining strong structure and pacing throughout. There’s very little constructive feedback here β€” aside from a few moments where slowing down slightly could make certain points land even stronger, this is a highly mature postseason response that already feels ready for top-tier recruiting conversations!
