history: I went to a job interview felling very confident and cocky. But I got the job anyhow because I had the right skills. Unlike many of my friends I was confident when I went to job interviews and I always got the job. I guess I was lucky. I think if you're confident in yourself_comma_ you can talk yourself into most jobs. You should give yourself more credit and not say you were lucky! 
current: I guess you're right and I appreciate the way you look at this. I did have the right qualifications, so maybe that boosted my confidence.
next: I think so too! I think people should have more confidence in themselves, but you always focus on the negative things more than the positive!
