Camila Greenberg, the founder of Soulspace and a sovereignty coach, said candidates should maintain authenticity during job interviews while managing imposter syndrome [1].
This guidance addresses a common psychological barrier for job seekers who feel unqualified despite their actual experience. By managing these internal narratives, candidates can present their true capabilities to potential employers without the interference of anxiety.
Greenberg spoke during an interview segment on the ABC News YouTube channel [1]. She said the specific mental struggle of feeling as though one is not qualified enough for a role is a hallmark of imposter syndrome [1, 2].
To combat these feelings, Greenberg said that candidates should focus on staying authentic. She noted that managing nerves is a critical part of the process, allowing a candidate to remain present and confident in their qualifications [1, 2].
Her approach emphasizes that the goal is not to eliminate nervousness entirely, but to navigate it in a way that does not obscure the candidate's professional identity. By acknowledging these thoughts, job seekers can prevent them from dictating their performance during high-pressure interviews [1].
Greenberg's insights aim to empower professionals to recognize their own value. This shift in perspective allows candidates to enter the interview process as equals to the employer, rather than feeling like an intruder in a professional space [1, 2].
“Camila Greenberg provided advice on maintaining authenticity during job interviews while managing imposter syndrome.”
The rise of discussions around imposter syndrome in professional settings reflects a broader shift toward prioritizing mental well-being and psychological safety in the workforce. By framing interview anxiety as a manageable psychological phenomenon rather than a lack of competence, experts like Greenberg are helping to redefine the traditional power dynamic between employer and applicant.
