A candidate shared that with us recently before his final interview.


Hold on ….

Hold on …



He was right.

They would be lucky to have him.

He’s a great candidate …


However … you can never approach an interview with that type of mindset.

Even if it’s true.



The attitude you convey towards the interviewer is always the most important part of getting a job offer.

The words you say.

How you say them.

The body language.



Confidence is a characteristic of high achievers ….


But too much confidence …. and a pinch of cockiness … never works.

Even if you are the best candidate in the world ….



How about this instead …

I think I’m a great fit for them … and I think the are a great fit for me … it’d be a pleasure to continue the conversation to see if I can get in a position to receive an offer. If the offer is competitive with my expectations for compensation, then I definitely would be inclined to say, ‘yes’.

Make it a great day, everyone!
