Or they can say, "I can see so many books, do you love reading so much?" And you can say (with tons of humility) " Yes, I just try to keep accumulating information. I read online a lot as well". So, can you see what I am trying to say? You can win the heart of your recruiter and become irreplaceable. Remember we told you above "Personality>Degree"
