Hi! I have a question- I try to be myself in job interviews and don’t hype up my skills or achievements. I thought being honest was best, but the results haven’t been great. Should I try “selling” myself more, even if I’m not perfect? What do you think?

    An interview is to sell yourself hype yourself up talk about incidents that happen. This is the way I do it. I worked at an airport where I left my... position where I saved a baby because they passed out. I always speak about it. Just don't make yourself sound bad  more

  • Honesty is important, but it starts by being qualified for the job for which you are applying. If you know that you can excel at your chosen... prospective job, then by all means say that in an interview. Just don't make any promises that you are unable to keep. more

  • Nobody is perfect

  • I have found that selling yourself should be focused on what you think sets you apart from other candidates. If possible, go off grid and relate a... unique situation where your win was unlikely and you turned it around. more

  • Ask more about the role and speak on how the role suits you , speak as if it was a conversation not interview.

  • Always highlight the skills and experience you have that are applicable to the position you are seeking. Yes, it may already be on your resume but... it's important to articulate them during the interview.  more

  • As a recruiter. I always tell my candidates to be themselves. Its what makes you who you are. Your resume should speak for itself, but highlighting... your skills and achievements goes a lot further.  more
