What It Means To ‘Be Yourself’ In An Interview


I am trying to improve my interviewing skills because I am frustrated that I haven’t been hired anywhere, but my mother told me not to over-prepare and I should “be myself” and “say what I really think” instead of trying to tell them exactly what they want to hear. I’m not sure this is the best advice and I’m confused. What should I do?”

Well, it’s certainly true that you should be yourself rather than telling them what you think they want to hear, but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t prepare. Thoroughly preparing and practicing for an interview is one of the best ways to do well in them. Let’s break this down a bit.

What “Be Yourself” Really Means In An Interview
“Being yourself” is important so that you’ll end up in a job and culture that’s a good fit for you, rather than one where you’re miserable or don’t do well. So that means that you shouldn’t hide your personality or put on a very stiff and formal interview persona. You need them to get an idea of what you’re going to be like to work with day-to-day, because if it’s not a good fit, you both need to know that now.

Otherwise you risk ending up in a job where you’re either uncomfortable with each other – or worse. For instance, if you’re naturally chatty and they hate chatty, it’s important that they see that in the interview so that you don’t end up in a job where they’re constantly nagging you to be less chatty, when you can’t. You might be thinking that you just want the job anyway, but truth is, you don’t want to work somewhere that wants you to be something you’re not.

Now, obviously, your professional self is probably a bit different from your social self. So “be yourself” really means “be your professional self.” You’re not going to slouch halfway down in your chair during the interview, or tell a dirty joke, or refer to a customer in bad faith, even if you do those things outside of work.

What you need is your professional self. You probably still have some personality at work, but you put a professional sheen on it, right? That’s the self you need to be in the interview. And if you haven’t had a job before and you’re totally baffled by all this, then just be warm, friendly, and polite. And considering you’re a recent graduate, just being really polite and eager to work — not eager to make money, counts for a lot.

However, none of this has anything to do with whether or not you work on your answers ahead of time and rehearse for the interview. Preparation is key to you doing well in an interview. Go through questions such as “tell me about a time when you had to deal with an angry customer” or “tell me about a time when…” question.

Practicing answers ahead of time means that when you’re sitting in the interview and get asked one of these questions, you actually have a good answer ready, rather than trying to wing it and maybe not being able to come up with a good response right away.

4 Ways To Get Noticed By Your Dream Company


Ways To Get Noticed By Your Dream Company
1. Make a list of important and relevant persons in the organisation
This sounds strange, but it is very workable. Making this list will make it easier for you to know who specifically you will need to impress. It will also give you a clear hierarchy of the organisational structure which will help you focus more.

Every company has people responsible for finding new potential hires. With the tools at your disposal, you can start looking for the persons who have a say in recruiting new hires. This involves recruiters as well since many big firms outsource their recruitment to agencies and consulting firms.

2. Participate in LinkedIn groups
The importance of LinkedIn in today’s job market cannot be underestimated. When properly used, it is a powerful job searching tool. Participating in your dream company’s Linkedin group gives you a chance to showcase your prowess . Show that you are worth a second and third listen.

Potential employers like innovation and ‘out of the box’ thinking. Use this to your advantage and always post comments that suggest growth or development to the company. Eventually, you may just get that call.

3. Volunteer at industry events.
Volunteering, apart from being a great way to learn new skills, is a great way to get noticed. Pick something you are passionate about and volunteer. You will be giving back to the community.

Charity organizations tend to have well-represented boards and plenty of ties to their local communities. You never know who will notice your charitable work.

4. Start a blog
Your passion should be your driving force in the blog. Share your recommendations about the industry and the company as well. However, be careful not to be too controversial as this will bring more negative attention your way than positive.

Stay focused and keep the blog as engaging as possible. It may one day open doors of employment for you.

Every goal you set for yourself is achievable. All you have to do, is decide how you want to get to your destination. Wishing you all the best in your job search.
