1."I have to have all the qualifications listed in the job description to even stand a chance."
While qualifications are important, many employers value qualities like adaptability, enthusiasm, and a willingness to learn.
Don't sell yourself short if you don't meet every requirement.
2. "The interviewer has already made up their mind about me before the interview even starts."
While first impressions matter, interviewers are often open-minded and more bothered about finding the best fit for the role.
3. "I have to answer every question perfectly to be considered for the job."
Interviewers understand that nobody's perfect.
It's more about how you handle the questions and demonstrate your problem-solving abilities and thought process.
