    The interview is a vibe check first and foremost. If you vibe with the team we will overlook other things in your application. If you made it to interview, we already think you’re good enough so don’t stress trying to impress or apologize.

    Managers are mostly people who get tired of watching other people do things badly and decide to try to do better. You don’t need a special degree or any magic to be a good manager, you should like people though.

    Everyone is faking it to some degree.

      Personality, presence and confidence

      Natural self confidence, but NOT an arrogant selfish confidence.

      Some people naturally have confidence and presence and some people need to build it as a skill.

      I know guys and gals with little to no knowledge or skill build up careers because they just knew how to talk and connect to people.

      I also know guys and gals with years of education and degrees but have little to no way of politely or easily getting along with people.

      people are generally ok. put them in a situation where they can climb over other people to advance and watch the rot begin.

      so, while people are generally ok, corporate people are generally not.
