[QUOTE="Jacob Miller, post: 46495, member: 5063"] That's totally understandable, and I can honestly say that, having been there myself, I can empathise with you. In terms of practical steps, the main things I would do to try and sound more confident- even if you don't necessarily feel it- in an interview setting are to really monitor the speed at which you talk (one of the biggest giveaways of nervousness is to talk too fast) and to make sure you take a couple of seconds, a sip of water and a deep breath before you start talking. If you have a little routine or ritual to go through during interviews, this can also ground you and help kill some of the nerves. In terms of worrying about coming off cocky, don't worry about this too much- remember that you're there most of all to sell yourself to the interviewer and you can't do that if you're not confident in your abilities! Obviously, there is a line between confidence and arrogance- not one which it is advisable to cross- but as long as you remember that line, it's absolutely fine to be confident in the skills and abilities you possess.
