sense of the real you. Their job of assessing your suitability is made easier

when you present yourself as you really are. Ask yourself: What are my

want them to see. One of the best ways to ensure that is what they see is to

affirm those strengths just before the interview.

interviewer with information and reasons not to hire. There is the conflict.

strengths and different rates of speed in completing tasks. Im working on being
