You are lucky enough to be invited for an interview. You have done your homework, you’ve researched the company, the interviewer and you have a good understanding of the role.
Interviews can vary enormously, since everyone has their own style, so you never know quite what to expect. One thing is key, make a good impression by giving lots of eye contact, listen – use your ears and digest what is being said and asked of you.
Confidence needs a fine balance. Being sure of your ability and being able to show that you are confident takes skill and nerve. Over confidence will kill the interview dead. No one wants a smart-arse.
