It was more how Pilotdude3407 answered that made me shake my head. He said be real and then suggested talking about a bunch of stuff nobody cares about except HR people in a way that sounded anything but real.
You just need to understand what the game is and then play the game in a manner that is genuine to you. Don’t use canned answers, don’t lie, just figure out how their stupid feel good corporate BS aligns with your values and talk about that.
But don’t ever forget that their corporate ‘values’ only exist as a way to keep the wage slaves in line; it’s not meant for and it does not and will not ever apply to management, regardless of what they say.
