During job interviews, honesty matters, but framing your answers is crucial. Daniel Haarburger, CEO of Woof, recalls the worst response he’s ever heard: when asked about their day-to-day life, a candidate replied, "Life’s a hot-mess express." This left a poor impression, signaling disorganization.
Haarburger advises focusing on how you manage challenges instead. For instance, highlight strategies you’re using to stay organized.
Confidence and clear communication are also key—maintain steady eye contact, a calm demeanor, and consistent body language. Honest but constructive answers paired with strong nonverbal cues can significantly boost your chances of landing the job.
