The candidate who knows themselves: they know exactly the role they want, as well as the type of work they wouldn’t be the best fit for, and the company reassures them that THIS role fits their needs. Such as when interviewing for HR leadership roles, I would share that “If more than 50% of my time in a role was going to be administrative, it likely wasn’t the best role for me. I’m good at the administrative side, but I also want the project and strategic work as well to keep me motivated.” The company would then start selling me on the opportunity, insisting that they really want a strategic HR leader, and all of the great projects I would get to work on. My frankness and honesty made me a more compelling candidate, and made them feel like they were getting a more transparent hire. companies are often worried if you seem too agreeable in interviews, or it sounds like you like everything, because no one is like that. The trick is, if you understand the role well enough, you’ll know what you can say is what you don’t want and what you do want. That way you won’t disqualify yourself.
