?? Why Do Interview Failures Happen?
Let’s talk about some common misconceptions around job interviews. Often, candidates fail not because they lack knowledge, but due to some myths they carry with them into the room.
Here are a few myths to bust:
1?? What if I don’t know something? It’s okay! It’s better to admit you don’t know the answer than to ramble on aimlessly.
2?? Best candidate always gets the job? Not necessarily. Human biases exist, so just prepare well and give your best.
3?? A great suit guarantees success? Nope. Skills matter more than your attire. Dress appropriately, but don’t rely on charm alone.
4?? More details = better? Keep it concise. Don’t overwhelm your interviewer with unnecessary information.
5?? Interviewers know their stuff? Not always. Adapt to the situation and build rapport.
6?? Perfect answers are a must? Good enough is often enough. Don’t overthink or over-explain.
7?? I got every answer right; I’ll get the job! Trust-building matters too.
8?? I must ask questions at the end? Only if they’re meaningful and not forced.
9?? Be casual? Stay relaxed, but keep it professional.
Interviews are about showcasing your fit, not perfection. ??
