You’re not the first to be catfished by a ‘dream job’. We asked executive career coach Lara Nercessian what you should do when your ideal career isn’t what you expected.

Job interviews are difficult at the best of times. While the combination of nerves and pressure to perform can sometimes create magic, it can also lead to a perfect professional storm.
