As far as I know perfection doesn’t exist because it’s subjective. This of course means that if we are after perfection, then we are already setting ourselves up for failure. Now here’s the deal.

Sure. Feeling safe and at ease is great and all, but what goals have you ever achieved by staying in your comfort zone??   We’re willing to bet on not many at all.   Nobody ever achieves much by staying in their comfort zone.   WHY?   Well, achieving goals requires you to aim for something just a little bitout of your reach.   Having a goal makes you look forward to something attainable that may not be in your comfort zone (at the moment).   Then the question of how to get out of your comfort zone comes up.   When it comes to career change, more likely than not you’ll be faced with the choice to break out of your comfort zone to progress down a new path that may be full of unknowns.

Being true self in an interview comes down to self-development.
