I am struggling with securing a position atm. I have had some recent feedback from a agency who said that I was the strongest candidate on paper but they gave the job to someone else because I didn't sell myself and seemed quite nervous.
This was a suprise to me, because although I do get some slight nerves (who doesn't) when entering into something so important, but for the most part I am confident. I don't slouch, I always keep my head up and keep eye contact without staring.
I guess if anything I struggle to adlib naturally if I'm asked something unusual. Answering question on the fly often gets me a little in a twist and I suffer to remember anything I have practiced before.
What can I do to solve this. I have been to 5/6 interviews as of late so practice and self confidence is getting hit hard. I need to some how come across to these people as relaxed (without looking sluvenly) friendly etc and also somehow having a catalogue of brilliant answers, that I can remember.
Any tips or website/videos that can give me an insight into the mind of the employer. I thought I had a decent grip on things, but this doesn't seem to be the case.
