In one of our mock interviews, a candidate once walked into an interview with a 15-slide presentation about why he was the perfect fit. He knew every detail about the company and had solutions for every potential problem.

Impressive? Yes.

But when the interviewer asked, “What’s one area you still need to improve?”, he struggled. His answers felt too perfect, making him seem rehearsed rather than adaptable.

“Confidence is about preparation. Humility is about acknowledging growth.”

Interviews aren’t about proving you’re perfect—they’re about showing you’re capable, adaptable, and eager to learn.
