Why Talented People Fail Job Interviews

from InterviewBetter Hosted by Samuel

Why do genuinely skilled people still bomb job interviews? This episode unpacks "the signal gap" the difference between what you can actually do and what you can prove under pressure and why it's one of the most expensive blind spots in hiring today. We cover why interviews are really just noisy signals, why this hits hardest in AI, cybersecurity, and other high-demand fields, why generic interview advice falls flat, and how structured, AI-supported practice can close the gap for anyone, not just people who can afford a private coach.
