Stop Downplaying Your Wins| How Humility Hurts You In Applications & Interviews


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re talking about the side of humility no one warns you about — the part that makes you shrink yourself in the exact moments when you should be representing your experience with clarity and confidence.

If you’ve ever softened the truth about what you’ve actually done because you didn’t want to sound “too much,” this conversation is for you. I break down how humility shows up in subtle ways during interviews and applications, why it holds so many residency candidates back, and what you can do today to advocate for yourself without feeling like you’re bragging.

You’ll learn three practical tools that help you talk about your work with accuracy, use facts to replace vague adjectives, and tell your story in a way that highlights your impact. When you understand how to do this, you don’t just sound confident—you sound honest. And honesty is the foundation of real credibility.

Whether you’re applying for a pharmacy residency, preparing for interview season, or stepping into any competitive space, this episode will give you the language and structure to show up fully and stop downplaying the value you bring.
