I agree with most of this. I disagree with the confidence statement. Humility and curiosity will get you further than blind confidence. When you don’t know something, say so and then ask questions. There is no worse interview than someone being brazenly wrong.

This can backfire if the decision to select a candidate is too far away from your interview. If they did all the talking, then they will have nothing to remember you by.
Know your worth. Keep it real, but know exactly what you bring to the table as an employee and how much that’s worth. If you don’t know, figure it out.
When interviewing, pay attention to any point of conversation that implies that the role is less than your worth and ask questions. You may dodge a huge bullet.
ALWAYS. HAVE. QUESTIONS.
The “weakness” question is nothing more than an opportunity to see that you have humility and introspection. Pick anecdotes that show off those traits.
Who?
