Did you feel confident in your last interview? 

If you didn’t feel confident, your interviewer likely didn’t perceive you as confident. 

Yet, in the U.S. and many other countries, interviewers prefer confident candidates. It seems to have an intoxicating effect on them, and many of them equate it (for better or for worse) with competence. So, it’s a skill worth learning! 

Tune into the latest Express to Impress podcast to learn which groups of people struggle most with confidence in interviews. You’ll also learn how you can overcome self-doubt to feel and project confidence in an interview.  Ultimately, you'll feel better, increase your interviewer's confidence in you, and land a job offer.

How to Be Confident in an Interview

In this episode, we explore how music profoundly supports language learning by shaping memory, focus, and emotional engagement. Happy music increases dopamine, boosting motivation and vocabulary recall. Sad music deepens introspection, making grammar and writing easier to master. Neutral background music enhances attention for reading and listening. Steady rhythms improve fluency and pronunciation, while tempos around 60–80 BPM align with optimal brainwave states for learning. Finally, metronomes and chimes help structure study sessions and sustain focus. Music becomes not just background noise but a powerful partner in your journey to fluency.
