Commanding Presence in Job Interviews –
Projecting Confidence, In-Person and Virtually

Language of the presentation: German

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PRESENTATION

Do you know the feeling of simply going through the motions during a job interview instead of being yourself? In this talk, we dispel the illusion that an interview is merely a “performance” where you have to deliver a flawless act. Discover why nervousness is actually valuable energy—provided you interpret it correctly—and learn how to break free from the typical “stage fright” mindset.
This talk focuses on your mental resilience and the impression you make: we examine critical moments, ranging from the crucial first impression made in the opening 30 seconds to handling unexpected questions and silence with composure. Whether in person or via video call, you will learn practical tools to tell your story authentically and maintain mental resilience, even when facing multiple interviews.
A talk for anyone who wants to do more than just demonstrate professional competence in an interview—and instead connect as a genuine individual.
