Present Yourself as an Asset, Not a Risk

When applying for a job, it's crucial to understand that companies hire to fulfill a need, not to take a chance on someone. Instead of viewing yourself as a risk, approach job interviews by presenting yourself as an asset who can bring immediate value to the team.
