You got your job interview and done all your research about the company and questions to answer/ask, but have you thought about how you will show that you have confidence in yourself & abilities. Interviewers are not only impressed by you showing your level of skills & experience but also how confident you are about yourself, abilities & that you can do the job role. So how can you demonstrate this confidence? Check out some helpful suggestions on how to show your level of confidence in yourself:
Direction & values: You know what you want, where you want to go, and what’s really important to you.
Motivation: You are motivated by and enjoy what you do. In fact, you’re likely to get so engrossed in what you’re doing that nothing distracts you.
Emotionally stable: You have calm and focused approach to how you are yourself and how you are with other people as you tackle challenges. You can notice when you have difficult emotions such as anger and anxiety, but you work with them rather than letting them overcome you and hinder you.
Positive mind-set: Having the ability to stay optimistic and see the bright side even when you encounter setbacks. You hold a positive regard for yourself as well as other people.
Self-awareness: Show that you know what you're good at, your limits, how capable you feel, and how you look and sound to others. You also acknowledge that you are a human being, and that you are not perfect.
Flexible behaviour: You adapt your behaviour according to circumstances. You can see the bigger picture as well as paying attention to details. You take other people’s views on board in making decisions.
Wanting to develop: You enjoy stretching yourself, treating each day as a learning experience, rather than acting as if you are already an expert with nothing new to find out. You take your discoveries to new experiences.
