Don’t Fake It Until You Make It!
In the second video of our 3-part Millennial Minute series on How do you get a job without any experience?, we discuss the importance of being your true self. Don’t try to be someone that you’re not in an interview. It will define the tone of how you will perform in that position. “You shouldn’t be faking it, you should come as you are, but come as the best version that you are.” - Jaz Don’t sell yourself as something that you are not in an interview. This could actually set you up to fail in that position. Why? You’ll have to be someone you aren’t. This can create self-doubt and create imposter syndrome.

How to Make a Great First Impression
We may all think we crush first impressions. But do we really? I’m going to remind you why a thought-out first impression is vital to expand our professional and personal lives.
