Job interviews are nerve-wracking for just about everybody. Even the most confident candidates can feel flustered, anxious or unprepared during an interview.
The good news is that confidence matters just as much as knowledge and experience when you’re trying to win over a potential employer. It’s not just about getting your qualifications across – it’s also important to project calmness, warmth and professionalism.
