Shawn is high in narcissism. Why might he come off well in an interview but not be a good employee?

What will be an ideal response?


A good answer would include the following key points:
- People with some personality types come off well in interviews even though they often do not make good employees in the long run.
- Narcissists such as Shawn often appear knowledgeable and confident during interviews, making them more likely to be hired.
- Yet, after they are hired and on the job, they do not work well with others and do not take responsibility for their mistakes.
