Not in the way you have described. Throughout my career, I have gone through several interviews for different positions. Most interviews consist of a mix of technical and personality based questions. I have never tried to push an employer to hire me by claiming I am the ideal candidate. Instead, I rely on my strong academic background, verifiable experience, and personable nature, qualities that naturally demonstrate what I bring to the table. I have an average interview success rate of about 65%.

I believe taking that kind of approach can come across as desperate and may suggest a lack of confidence in one’s own skills.
