I write clearly below what you need to do to express yourself in the interview in the best way, to stand out, but also to act knowing your own value:
⸻
🧠 1. Know Yourself Very Well
• Clarify your strengths and weaknesses.
• Prepare 2-3 concrete examples from your previous experience (such as success, difficulty, teamwork).
• “Why should they hire me?” Give a sincere answer to your question and clarify it.
⸻
🗣️ 2. Speak Impressively and Balanced
• Tell yourself without exaggerating but without running away from modesty:
• Use phrases like “I’m really good at this and I think I can contribute to this company.”
• Use the “I, we, the result” format:
• What did you do?
• How did you work with the team?
• What was the result?
⸻
💡 3. Search the Company and Position Well
• Read the job description from beginning to end. For each item, “How did I contribute / can I provide this?” Think so.
• Look at the latest news, products and culture of the company. Refer to these in the interview:
• Like “Your X attempt impressed me a lot, because…”.
⸻
🎯 4. Be Aware of Salary and Value
• Conduct market research (LinkedInsalary)
• Know the average salary suitable for the position.
• “What is your salary expectation?” If they ask:
• Answer like “I expect an offer in accordance with market conditions, depending on the opportunities offered by the company and the responsibilities of the position.”
• Don’t underestimate yourself. But don’t create more expectations than necessary. Be realistic but assertive.
