For low level jobs, I see the interview as more of a test of "can this candidate handle basic communication, avoid acting in a way that will alarm others, handle a bit of pressure, and generally behave in a way that I don't see us regretting hiring this person for at least as long as it takes to have an interview?"

For those interviews, there aren't so much right answers as there are wrong answers.

Going in to interviews with the subtle art of not giving a fuck mindset transforms their nature entirely. While I don't enjoy being in a position where I need to go do interviews, the interviews themselves aren't that bad, they can even be enjoyable if you tune your dgaf properly.

Though it's important to understand that the not giving a fuck mindset isn't a "I don't care what you think" kind of energy, it's "whatever happens here, I'll be fine". Reach for what you want and give it your honest best shot, but leave any desperation at home. Even if you might not be fine, cross that bridge later.
