Your Interview Sitting across the table from your interviewer, it can seem like youre both in two different worlds. You tend to think of them as an analyzing machine rather than a person just like you. Its because theyre the ones holding all the cards, or so it would seem. They are looking over your CV and they ask you questions that try to boil down what and who you are. So it feels like you have to impress them with every sentence you speak. Youve heard the Confucius saying, Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. But what if you have yet to figure out what it is that makes your heart beat faster or, an even more common scenario how to turn what you love doing into a lucrative career path. Rebekah Iliff No wonder a lot of people who go into interviews feel as if they are at a disadvantage because they have to impress the interviewer while theres no cultural obligation for them to do so to you. And here is the issue we camouflage in our mind. The interviewer was once like you. They know what its like to be in your seat so its not like theyre an alien. They have an obligation only to their boss, whom them must supply with the best candidates. Theres no conspiracy to keep you down, they simply want the best people. So why should they choose you? True passion and extra dedication Much like when youre trying to apply to a university, they want to know do you really care about the subject matter? Everyone can do the 9-to-5 workload and then go home. What sets the people who usually get hired is they have shown a true passion for what they do.
