When interviewing for jobs, it’s critical to let your authenticity shine through. Showing your interviewer your true self will help you connect with them — and stand out from your competition. Authenticity is about being genuine, not flawless; your personality and unique communication style are assets. According to the author, you should focus more on being yourself than being perfect, remembering every talking point, or presenting someone you’re not. That way, if you get the job, you can feel confident you’re in the right place, and if you don’t get the job, you’ll at least feel good about not compromising yourself or your values in the interview for a job that wasn’t the right fit.
