Outshining the “Connected” Candidate
Focus intensely on your unique value proposition; when an Oga’s candidate proves incompetent, a compelling, highly-skilled backup is always hired to actually do the work.
We hear it all the time: “They have already given the job to a senator’s daughter.” Sometimes it’s true. But let me tell you a secret from the HR desk: even if they hire the connected person, they still need someone to do the actual work.
That’s where you come in. Be so undeniably good that we have to create a space for you. Focus on what you can control—your competence, your presentation, and your interview delivery. Don’t let the “man-know-man” mentality defeat you before you even enter the room.
