Thoughts on “fake it til you make it”?
I was approached about a role for which I do not feel particularly qualified. And I’m an excellent interviewer. It’s a bit premature, but how far have some of you been able to get in similar scenarios?

Everyone gets imposter syndrome at some point.

If they approached you, they saw something they thought aligned with what they're looking for.

I'd take the shot. If you get it, it's a big chance to grow. If not, you may need to stay where you are a little longer. Either way you learn something.

How can I word an email follow-up with a recruiter to let them know that I am weighing my options in regard to job opportunities and would like to keep this one on the table? I don’t want to say it exactly like that because I feel that it sounds too direct. But it’s been a little over a week since my last (final) interview and I’ve had no follow up from them. Thanks in advance!
