Interviews are Imperfect—And What Actually Matters
Interviews will never be completely fair or objective. No matter how structured, a small element of bias always exists through an interviewer’s intuition and gut feeling.
Beyond technical skills, interviewers subconsciously look for confidence, adaptability, and problem-solving—qualities that are hard to measure but essential for success.
Every interviewer looks for different qualities, but I believe three core traits form the foundation for all other skills. If you have these, everything else builds on top of them.
Curiosity – Asking questions and challenging the norm.
Bias for Action – Taking initiative and moving fast.
Ownership – Being accountable and getting things done.
