I'm not a Romantic, but I will commandeer Valentine's Day to talk about LOVE as it relates to the job hunt.
You see, too many people apologize for themselves. They downplay their positive attributes and cast doubt on their true abilities and talents. And
many of them do it in interviews. Take for instance the following exchange:
Interviewer: “I see here you won the yearly sales award in your last position. Tell me about that.”
Interviewee: “Oh, well, yeah, it’s really a small award. There weren’t a lot of other candidates for the award, but yeah, I received it. I only sold five percent more than the guy who came in second.”
Interviewer: <silence.>
Would you hire that candidate?
Maybe you would. Maybe the rest of the interview was phenomenal. Maybe the applicant has a unique skill set or stellar resume. Maybe you’d interpret the applicant as merely being “humble.”
