“Your interview is your opportunity to demonstrate that you are an internally motivated, solutions-oriented person who looks for opportunities to take initiative.” (iStock / iStock)
“Interviewers will remember the attitude a candidate presented in an interview long after they forget about degrees, awards and resumes.”
How do you share what you can improve about your career?
Focus on your goal of self-improvement and a commitment to continuous learning.
For example, Wahlquist recommended you talk about improving and acquiring new technical skills, improving your leadership skills as a team member and a mentor, and improving your time management skills to better balance your professional and your personal life.

Also, be sure to portray yourself as eager to learn and able to take feedback professionally.
“No one wants to work with people who are just coasting through life or who think they know it all,” Wahlquist said.
Being able to admit you don’t know everything is important.
