Controversial interview hacks that actually work 👀 Most candidates walk into interviews trying too hard to “impress.” That’s usually why they fail. The strongest candidates don’t sound desperate. They sound calm, commercially aware, and already valuable. A few controversial things that genuinely help: • Wear glasses (even if they’re just blue light glasses). They can make you appear more credible and professional on camera/interviews. • Don’t overdo the “perfect” look. You want to look polished, not intimidating or like you’re trying too hard. • Treat it like a conversation, not an interrogation. The best interviewers want someone they can actually work with. • Stop acting desperate for the role. Desperation kills leverage and confidence instantly. • Go in with the mindset that you’re already qualified. Top candidates assume value instead of seeking validation. • Research your interviewer beforehand. Check their LinkedIn, career background, company posts and recent promotions. • Mention you’re interviewing elsewhere. Not in an arrogant way—just enough to demonstrate market demand. Most interview success comes down to positioning and psychology, not just “perfect answers.” I’ve helped 100+ women land £65k–£85k tech sales roles with interview frameworks that actually work in real life.
