You don't have to lie to talk in "I" form. You don't have to take the sole credit.
Just be clear about what your influence was on the project.
Not everyone lies on the interviews. I have absolutely never lied, and I can still use the "I" form.
I usually make proportions of my involvements clear.
For example if I start and architect/design the project, I will say so and then I will say I successfully onboarded others to the project and guided them successfully to achieve X results.
If I didn't start it, I will describe it like "I worked on the project X, with 3 other people. My responsibilities were A, B and C. etc".
- phkahler 3y ago>> Just be clear about what your influence was on the project. God, stop being grandiose and talking about the project and deliveries. Did you implement a specific feature? Squash a a bug? Find a solution to a specific problem? If you didn't do any of those - specifically by yourself (or mostly so) I don't want you. Those are the key deliverables of a software developer.
