It's all about trust. The foundation is obviously to ensure that ones resume is truthful and that highlights are just that, highlights, and not embellishments. Be sincere and honest. During the interview, if there are questions that are unclear or difficult to understand, say so, ask for clarity - it's not the end of the world, in fact it is the opposite - it says one is likely to seek clarity before making decisions based on uncertainty, and that is important. And it is perhaps also useful in demonstrating integrity and honesty. Think strategically - not tactically - keep the job description in mind: be prepared, be friendly, be concise, be targeted, and, most importantly, be oneself.

Then, once you pass that hurdle, everything written here still applies.
Watch out for cannibalizing your resume by complying to much to the AI agents, do as little as possible and as much as necessary.
Agreed!
