Daniel Haarburger consistently poses a typical interview query to job applicants: How does your typical day unfold?

Haarburger, CEO of Denver-based dog toy company Woof, recounted to CNBC Make It that one candidate gave him the "worst response" he's ever heard: "Life's a hot-mess express right now. It's pretty wild."

"Haarburger, who has been hired for over 50 roles since launching his company in 2019, recalls his interview not going well when the candidate openly admitted, "I don't know what the hell I'm doing.""

Honesty is crucial during job interviews, as lying about your identity and abilities, including on your resume, is not only unethical but can also lead to immediate disqualification from the position. According to LaSalle Network CEO Tom Gimbel, bosses often want to hear about your weaknesses, so it's essential to be honest during the interview process.

Achieving your dream job requires acing your interview, and this ultimate guide provides the necessary tips and strategies.

My life is a hot-mess express, but I'm making progress in managing my responsibilities with scheduling strategies like [Y].

Gimbel stated that it is important to acknowledge our weaknesses and be truthful about our areas of improvement.

Haarburger advises that maintaining consistent demeanor and body language during an interview demonstrates confidence and effective communication, leaving a lasting impression.

According to Haarburger, "I prefer when someone is calm, focused, and direct, rather than when they become scattered and off-topic."

Matt Abrahams, a communication expert and lecturer at Stanford University, advised Make It in May to keep their hands visible, maintain a straight back with relaxed shoulder blades, and practice good eye contact.

Abrahams observed that when you see someone swaying, you assume they are feeling anxious.
