No regrets interview approach

Have you ever had an interview where you didn't get the job? If not... you're an outlier!

There are two options when you attend an interview:

Act like you think you are supposed to, or
Be yourself

There are two outcomes

You get the job, or
You don't get the job

That creates four scenarios

a - Act, don't get the job

b - Act, get the job

c - Be yourself, don't get the job

d - Be yourself, get the job

Scenario A - you've put on an act and at the end of it you didn't get the job. Now you're left wondering... if I had just been myself would I have got the job? Regret!

Scenario B - you've put on an act and at the end of it you get the job. What do you do now? Keep up the act for the first 6 months, burning yourself out? Drop the act, and get found out on day 1? Regret!

Scenario C - you've been yourself and you didn't get the job. Ok, not the outcome you wanted, but at least you know they've made a decision based on the real you, and you can accept that. No Regret!

Scenario D - you've been yourself and you get the job! Amazing! You know that you earned it, you know that they like you, you know that you're going to fit in. No Regret - celebration!

Got an interview coming up? You can leave it knowing you've done your best, so no matter the outcome you have no regrets.
