Well done, Emelia Sowels. What an incredible achievement, but we are not surprised!

Let’s be honest: at one time or another, most of us have been economical with the truth during a job application, either at an interview or on our CV. Typically, it takes the form of talking up our experience in one or more areas. However, honesty throughout the recruitment process helps prevent misalignments and potential issues further down the line. Honesty contributes to a more transparent hiring process, benefiting both the candidate and the employer. Remember, admitting to areas where you have room for improvement is fine. Indeed, it's a sign of strength and self-awareness that inevitably impresses an interviewer. Here are some more benefits of honesty at a job interview. https://lnkd.in/dGjjJddP #jobinterview #jobapplication #hiring #jobsearch #hireme #jobhunt #jobseeker #recruitment #hr
