There are countless articles and a multitude of career advice to be found on how to ace an interview. Job seekers are told what questions the interviewer will more than likely ask and how you should answer them, how to act, how to dress in the appropriate gray, blue, and white business attire, when to ask questions to show your interest and knowledge, how to write your cover letter and thank you letter. Interview advice is important to follow if you ever have hope of landing a job, let alone a dream job. Or is it?
The more this interview advice is followed, the more the advice has to evolve to become more cutting edge because when everyone is becoming schooled in the 'art of interviewing', job seekers are not standing out in interviews but blending in with one another! These days, job seekers look the same, sound the same, dress the same, ask the same questions, and answer the questions the same. They appear to be masses of drones applying for positions. They hide their greatest asset- their individuality- in order to become what the "general store" thinks it is looking for in a candidate.
