The Shocking Truth: Why “Be Yourself” Is Terrible Job Interview Advice

Описание: “Just be yourself!”
You hear it before every job interview… and it’s one of the worst pieces of advice you can get.

In this video I explain why “be yourself” is dangerous when taken literally, and what you should do instead: show the best, most relevant version of yourself that fits the role, the team and the company.

I’m Maarten C. de Jong, hiring manager and recruiter with 20+ years of experience. I’ve watched countless candidates walk into an interview “just being themselves”… and talk themselves straight out of an offer. In this video I’ll show you how to avoid that.

In this video you’ll learn:
-Why “be yourself” is incomplete (and what people really mean by it)
-The difference between your private self and your professional self
-How good candidates self-sabotage by oversharing and “being too honest”
