According to Singer- the key to a successful interview is confidence. When a person is confident enough to a face a panel of unknown people, it shows that he or she is capable of handling the job and difficult situations that might occur on the job. It also shows that the person is capable of conquering self doubt and can handle any kind of situations. Although a single confrontation is not enough to judge a personality, it provides the basis on which you will be judged because a first impression always sticks.
Singer says that you need not always get top grades or do specific courses to land a good job. Being smart also counts.
