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.

What do you say when you care… but you’re late to say it?

In this episode, we explore the quiet power of the phrase “I’ve been meaning to…”—a structure that carries time, emotion, and unfinished intention. You’ll learn why this simple phrase shows up in apologies, reconnections, and honest moments—and how it helps you speak with more depth and softness. No grammar charts here—just rhythm, feeling, and fluency that lives in real life.
