What can go right in an interview? What can go wrong? What is the right way to define yourself? What is the wrong way?
Often, we define ourselves by what we do, by our title, by how much money we earn. While it’s absolutely true that our careers and accomplishments make up a big part of who we are, they are two important components, they are not the whole.
This is particularly important to remember when you are conducting a job search. if you are currently unemployed or underemployed, you might make the mistake of confusing who you are with your employment status. This mistake can set a bad tone as you work through the job search process.
The wrong way to define yourself: I am unemployed.
The right way to define yourself: I am the same competent, qualified, capable person I have always been and I am currently seeking my new career.
