Stop struggling in a job interview process that is inherently flawed and lacks authenticity. Don’t remain stagnant in your career because others seem to have “what it takes” and you don’t. Most others don’t have “it” either because the work culture is not conducive to surviving, much less thriving. Stop participating in the mind-bending games and drama that clutter up the corporate work culture and the job interview process. Both are riddled with dysfunction, and the sooner you understand this, the quicker you can rise above them. Above all, stop trying to say and do the “right things” and discover how to authentically resolve all your job search and career struggles for good.
