Confidence Strategies for Interviews

Interviews are not exams. They are conversations between two adults deciding if they want to work together.

Reframe before you walk in

You are not begging for a job — you are exploring fit.

The 90-second rule

First impressions form fast. Posture, smile, handshake (or warm nod), eye contact.

Tell stories, not facts

Use the STAR pattern: Situation, Task, Action, Result.

Have your three asks

Three intelligent questions about the team, the role, and growth.

Close with intent

Thank them. Reaffirm interest. Ask about next steps.
