Starting a new job can be one of the most intimidating moments in your career…especially your first job (or one you don’t feel you deserve)

I’ve been there. Have you ever walked into an interview knowing you were among the least qualified for the position and subsequently walked into your first day on the job, scratching your head over how you possibly fooled them?

I’ve done this quite a few times…in fact, I feel like I’ve done this with every single job in my professional corporate career. From my JP Morgan summer internship to my full-time investment banking job in Wells Fargo’s M&A group.

To every employer who’s ever hired me, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you one little secret: I’m a great actress.

Okay, I’m not saying the interviews were 100% acting. It was probably 30% strategy, 20% brains, and the other 50% knowing what it takes to present well at an interview and get the job. We can call that last 50% acting.
