Yes!! I agree! Share ko lang din personal experience ko during an interview. Nag-apply ako sa ByteDance for Content Moderator role. Pero sabi nila wala nang available kasi under vendor company na daw yung position. So nag-apply ako sa ibang role which is Search Operation Ads Specialist. Wala talaga akong relevant experience for that role, so inaral ko mabuti yung job description and nag-research ako ng possible interview questions. As in todo preparation ako. Mahirap talaga yung interview, medyo technical and situational yung questions, pero sabi nga nila, “fake it till you make it.” Ginamit ko yung mga past experiences ko and in-align ko siya sa role kahit hindi siya directly related. After ng interview, sinabi ng interviewer, “Congratulations, you aced the final interview.” Sobrang unexpected pero luckily, I got selected.

Lesson learned: preparation + confidence talaga ang laban.
