The Story behind Ace The Interviews
Ashton Chanana is the founder of Ace The Interviews and a Chief Revenue Officer with more than 14 years of experience across sales, account management, strategic partnerships, and business leadership.
​
He has spent years on both sides of the hiring process. As a candidate, he has interviewed for roles, graduate programs, scholarships, and leadership opportunities. As an interviewer, he has evaluated candidates and seen firsthand what makes an answer feel credible, memorable, and worth following up on.
​
His career has included roles at startups and large international companies, from account executive and business relationship management positions to strategic alliances and executive leadership. That range has given him a practical view of how expectations change across companies, industries, and stages of growth.
​
Ashton holds a Master’s degree in Business (Entrepreneurship) from Hult International Business School, a Master’s in Communications from the University of Southern California, and a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management from the University of Miami.
​
He created Ace The Interviews to share the preparation methods he uses himself and the patterns he has noticed while interviewing other people. The goal is simple: help candidates give stronger answers without sounding like they memorized someone else’s script.

​Why Ace The Interviews?
I have always taken interviews seriously, but not because I enjoy memorizing answers or pretending to be someone I am not. I prepare carefully, understand what the other person needs to learn about me, and make sure I have real examples ready when the conversation goes somewhere unexpected.
​
That approach became even more useful once I started interviewing candidates myself. I began noticing the difference between someone who had rehearsed a perfect response and someone who actually understood the story they were telling. The strongest candidates were prepared, but they still sounded like themselves.
​
That is why I created Ace The Interviews. I wanted to give people practical guidance they could actually use, including how to structure stronger answers, handle difficult questions, communicate with confidence, and understand what may be happening on the other side of the table.
​
You will find detailed interview guides, real observations from my experience as an interviewer, and resources for sales, marketing, customer service, and other professional roles. If you want a complete preparation system, The Confident Interview Method brings the most important lessons together in one focused program.
​
Interview advice should not turn you into a different person. It should help you communicate your experience more clearly and make it easier for the interviewer to see why you could be the right fit.
