๐ฅ One of the BIGGEST challenges I faced while trying to break into an SDR role and eventually become an AE was my mindset around interviews and career growth.
๐ก What completely changed my perspective was when a hiring manager told me this: "We want killers. Not someone who just shows up and does the job, but someone who goes ABOVE and BEYOND." ๐ฅ
That hit me hard. And now? Thatโs ME. And honestly, thatโs probably ALL of you in this community. ๐ You're hardworking, dedicated, and always ready to crush it to maximize that paycheck! ๐ฐ
But hereโs the issueโฆ youโre not selling yourself in interviews. ๐ฏ
You know you're a quota crusher because youโre motivated to be the best. But guess what? Recruiters and hiring managers donโt know that yet.
๐ฅ Thatโs when I had a realizationโฆ I needed to do a humble brag. Yep, you heard meโbrag about yourself! Why? Because they donโt know youโre a go-getter unless you prove it in the interview.
So, next time youโre in an interview, make sure you drive home this point: YOU are someone who doesnโt just meet expectationsโyou EXCEED them. ๐
๐ฌ Tell them exactly who you are, because if you don't, someone else will. And trust me, theyโll proudly share their wins and successes, and thatโs how you'll get passed over.
Own it. ๐ช
