One of my very worst bosses had this quality. Perversely, it was about the only thing I admired about him.
The guy could walk into a meeting of NASA flight engineers and engage in conversation without uttering a single fact that would betray his total lack of any knowledge/qualifications.
n.b. He was fired not long after I left the company.
- twicetwice 6y agoTo be clear: I don't advocate for doing that, and I don't try to BS my interviewers. That's why I said "let alone if I'm just a bit unsure"—if, during high school debate, I can confidently BS, then now, during an interview, I can confidently talk even if I'm nervous and not fully sure of myself.
