Why Your Skills May Not Matter as Much As You Think

Instead of listing your skills, focus on the measurable impact you can bring. Job interviews aren’t about reciting your resume, but rather showing what you can do for the team.

This shift from selling skills to illustrating results can vividly demonstrate your value and help interviewers envision you succeeding in their role.
