Forbes magazine on acing the interview

Leading can be lonely and it’s tempting to just be satisfied with status quo and failing to act when in a tough spot. I’ve found on a number of times, that action or agency, even with imperfect is better than inaction.

An example of this is based on an anecdote about a Hungarian reconnaissance unit lost in the Alps. In the poem, the soldiers faced an icy death, until their leader found a map which he used to lead the platoon to safety. On their return, however, it was found that the map was not of the Alps but of the Pyrenees.

Quick overview article

The key things to show in an interview, when you have very little professional experience are:
Personality
Resilience
Thinking outside the box
Times you've been out of your comfort zone
Team work
Passion
Whether this is through sports, travelling, internships or being the oldest of 5 children. If you give examples of how you've pushed yourself and used your initiative, you'll stand out. Also, remember to smile, charisma can take you far.

The muse article on what not to say when you have little experience

It’s a call to accept yourself for the way you are, not just the parts that you like, but the parts that are difficult. To counter self-love, there's an important piece we often don't think about: self-doubt. Know what it looks like. There is an inherent power in speaking about self-doubt. Sometimes people can’t work because they get drowned out by thoughts of self-doubt, but remember that the pursuit of perfection is completely inauthentic--everyone has different things to doubt and are able to challenge them in different ways, so do what works for you. There's no right way, and no path to perfect.
