While seeking a job during my Masters, one of the interviews with a partner in a boutique consulting firm in Chicago began with a candid admission that went somewhere in the lines of: > **Interviewing is an imperfect process. So don’t read too much into our decision to evaluate you, one way or another.** Some of your potential employers who offer you the job are going to misjudge the value you bring to the role they have to offer. Equipped with a clear understanding of the expectations of the role and by being radically authentic with your own self, you are the best person to assess your future employer’s decision to have you on board. This will help you avoid situations where either you are overqualified for the job or are not positioned to be successful.
