I have used many tricks to enhance my confidence level in my studies as well as in my work. And I would like to share a recent experience which I had when I had an interview from a university in Germany. So I thought I was quite manageable to pass the interview. But when my counselor told me some ideas, I felt some kind of tension in my mind. And even it was an offline interview, so pre-recorded interview. So I do not know what they are going to ask. It was unexpected moments which I experienced. I was very horrible and terrified. And somehow they have given me 50 or 60 questions to manage the interview. So I went through all the questions and repeatedly I read and practiced by recording in my mobile. I switched on my video camera and I have recorded it. And also I have set all the answers in front of the mirror. All the tricks increased my confidence level. When on that day I was tensed and excited too. And after the interview I was on the moon. I was on the 9th cloud. Immediately after the interview I got the offer letter. So I think my counselor said that he did a wonderful job. She praised me and I was excited. It was an unforgettable memory that I had recently.

I have used many tricks to enhance my confidence level in my studies as well as in my work. I would like to share a recent experience I had during an interview with a university in Germany. I thought I was quite capable of passing the interview, but when my counselor shared some ideas, I felt a kind of tension in my mind. It was an offline interview, a pre-recorded one, so I did not know what they were going to ask. It was an unexpected moment that I experienced. I felt horrible and terrified. They gave me 50 or 60 questions to manage the interview. I went through all the questions and repeatedly read and practiced by recording on my mobile. I switched on my video camera and recorded myself. I also set all the answers in front of the mirror. All these tricks increased my confidence level. On that day, I was tense and excited too. After the interview, I was on cloud nine. Immediately after the interview, I received the offer letter. My counselor said that I did a wonderful job. She praised me, and I was excited.
