"I love the work I do because I'm good at it. I enjoy working with people and helping any way I can. Sometimes that requires more solitary analytical work, and I enjoy those moments as well. It's good to mix it up. But I wouldn't have chosen this career path if I didn't have a knack for it. But day in and day out, I feel pretty good about what I do because of what I put into my work. I put my all in all the time."

Hirevue's proprietary machine learning algorithms will analyze your interview performance to predict your future job performance. Think of the assessment vendor's algorithm as a composure test. So before the interview, you'll want to maximize your ramp up your confidence, both consciously and subconsciously. One way to do this is to amp yourself up physically, if you are of able body. So perform some fast physical exercises. Stretch your arms up high, stretch your back, and try to make yourself as big as possible. Then look yourself in the eye and say some self-affirmations. This is proven to help increase your confidence. But go farther and research the body language of someone who is confident and relaxed while in a seated position. Practice those positions. This will aid in boosting your composure and confidence in the long run. Fake it till you make it.
