Myths v Reality

The Myth - “If You’re Good, You’ll Be Noticed.”
I used to believe this.
So did a brilliant woman I worked with.
She delivered. Every time.
Met deadlines. Fixed problems. Made everyone’s life easier.
When a senior role came up she interviewed and…someone else got it.

Not because they were better, but because they were more strategic with their answers in the interview.

Here’s the reality:
Being good keeps you employed. Tick.
Being good and ✨ strategic ✨ gets you noticed and promoted. If you are interviewing for a role that needs you to step up, think outside of your current skills and experience. Think strategically.

◽ What does success look like in this role in the first 6–12 months?

Myth: Your skills alone will secure the role.
Reality: How strategic and aligned you are often decides the outcome.
