Be Yourself

You know when people say "Just be yourself"? It's especially true forinterviews. You have to be yourself, however, the best version ofyourself.

It will it backfire on you if you pretend to know something so theyare impressed.... because if it comes time to use that skill-set youwill be lost. Interviewers also know that most candidates tell whitelies to seem more valuable. Don't fit that profile.

The Top ThreeQualities to Convey

In any Job Interview(or social setting)

- CONFIDENCE

Show people that you're sure of yourself, and that you're a leader.You know your strengths and weaknesses, and you accept them.You listen to others openly without having to interject for fear ofthem not accepting your opinion; because you know that every-one is entitled to their own sentiments. You are passive, but youdo not roll over when faced with an obstacle or confrontationalpeople.

- POSITIVITY

Positivity is hands down one of the most important qualities tohave in general. People HATE negativity, don't be a complainer.Understand that things can't always go your way. Sometimesthings go sour but hey, look on the bright side... we live in afirst world country and have clean drinking water. Be gratefuland positive all of the time.

You have to show the fact that you're just another person. You'renot dangerous. I have friends just like you, we're the same.. so wecan be friends too. I'm a normal person and people like me, let'shave a little chat to see if we can find some common ground.

- SOCIAL PROOF

Combine all of theseelements into one package
