#22: How Would You Know?
Although a common part of the job search process, job interviews can often be draining and nerve-wracking experiences. The competition is fierce, and first impressions carry significant weight, making it essential to present oneself positively. Smiling and maintaining a friendly demeanor can go a long way in making a favorable first impression.
However, it’s disheartening to envision an interviewer unfairly criticizing you without substantial knowledge of your character or qualifications. In such situations, where you’re unjustly thrown under the bus despite not doing anything wrong, it becomes crucial to maintain composure and respond professionally. Handling such challenges with grace and resilience can ultimately reflect positively on the interviewee, even in the face of unwarranted criticism.
