Confidence

Confidence is the next skill in line necessary for a good first impression during
your job interview. And if you’re wondering - yes, you can be respectful and
confident at the same time. The two are not mutually exclusive, just equally
important. 

Confidence is a character trait that shows you’re sure about your words,
actions, and decisions - and that’s something people respond to positively. 

If you’re not naturally confident, worry not - there are methods to appear
confident even if you don’t feel like it.

Some ways to appear more confident include:

 Maintaining eye contact during the job interview

 Sitting up straight with open shoulders
 Speaking in a friendly - but firm - tone of voice
 Preparing in advance so you don’t stumble on your words
If, on the other hand, you’re the naturally confident type, keep in mind not to
overdo it with bravado. Sometimes, too much confidence can come across as
arrogance or rudeness and that’s not going to sit right with most people.
