I see the fake it til you make it as just fake confidence. Not to fake anything else
Personality ≠ confidence
With that said I agree with EY1. You want to be genuinely yourself and have relationships that form from that
You need to be confident to exaggerate credentials. If you’re timid or shy talking about something then they assume you’re lying or not actually good at it. Delivery matters
Your personality -> be authentic
Your credentials -> you exaggerate
I definitely agree with EY1 on this. I scored so many job offers and make way more than I should by “exaggerating my credentials”. 😂 Its just marketing yourself effectively. But have your own personality, that’s what makes you stand out from the 1000s of other applicants with the same credientals as you (who are all also exaggerating)
No one wants you to actually be authentic.
This is a straight up lie.
1) be yourself and be straightforward in your personal interactions with ppl
2) don't let perceived lack of something (skill, experience, etc.) stop you from giving something your best shot.
You were chosen for a reason. Relax, be yourself, and enjoy the ride.
