What are some verbal and nonverbal ways you can show confidence and competence during your interview?

Answer:

Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: First, you must feel well prepared so that you actually do have confidence in yourself. You should practice sample interview questions and answers along with a confident handshake correctly given. Other nonverbal ways to display confidence include having good posture, maintaining appropriate eye contact, and smiling. Practicing ahead of time will help you appear competent, but you should listen carefully and make sure you are answering the question asked. Be brief but complete in your answers. Ask for clarification if you don’t understand a question and be sure to always tell the truth; try not to be negative about past employers and experiences.
