Using "I" versus "We"

BY NICK HENNING

Have you ever caught yourself saying "we" or "the team" during an interview?

All too often, professionals make the common mistake of saying "we" versus "I" during an interview.

It can be very subtle and sometimes hard to detect, but it can have an impact on your interview.

The hiring authority is only concerned with what you did and the results of the actions you took.

Your team is not interviewing for the position, YOU ARE so be sure to highlight your specific contributions by using I.

Otherwise, you might leave doubt in their minds that it was the teams' efforts that accomplished the incredible feat and not yours.

What are your thoughts?
