How to be yourself during an interview

Long before you even begin thinking about going on an interview, you need to get into the right mindset. This accounts for nearly 80% of your interview success! Having a confident, present mindset allows you to head into your future interviews with ease. It channels your nerves (those sweaty palms and racing heart) into excitement instead. And, it allows you to be yourself. In order to get into this mindset though, you have to know yourself well, and respect your past experiences. You need to understand your career equity. And, that takes introspection. That introspection doesn't come overnight either. It's a practice that builds up over time, which is why "cramming" for interviews isn't effective. Being true self in an interview comes down to self-development.
