Self-Confidence in a Job Interview

Self-confidence in a job interview is simply the result of feeling well prepared, which you will be. It is quickly polished with practice which is another reason to interview as often as you can.

Self-confidence is not arrogance. It is not a chip-on-the-shoulder, “Why should I work for you?” attitude. Instead, it is an attitude that says: “I am serious about my career. I enjoy my work I can do this job. I will become very good at it. When can I start?” After you have interviewed with several companies you will discover that, although the questions generally remain the same, each company and each interviewer has a different style. Most interviewers are one-on-one, you and the supervisor. Most super visors are not trained interviewers and probably would feel more comfortable doing something more directly associated with their jobs. You may actually be better prepared and more relaxed than they are. In this case, your ability to control the direction of the interview through your questions will be easier and likely much appreciated. The best interviewers, unfortunately, are found in the personnel department. Since you will not be meeting any of them, be prepared to rescue an aimless, wandering interview and ensure that your interview objectives are attained. Read More at EmploymentCrossing
