3/11: Avoid filler words
You might fall prey to filler words such as "uh," "like," and "so" more often than you think. These words may feel natural, but according to 2015 research, fillers can distract others and imply low confidence.

Researchers analyzed 138 recorded interview videos from 69 Massachusetts Institute of Technology students speaking with career counselors. The results suggest that using fewer filler words and more unique words could increase your chance of landing a job after an interview.

2/11:Find your voice

Your voice can offer clues about a number of things, from where you were born to how you're currently feeling.

A strong, confident speaking voice can be just as important as the words you use, particularly since tone of voice might add another layer of meaning to what you say.

A few tips to keep in mind:

Use a slow and steady voice to convey trustworthiness and importance.
Maintain a consistent rhythm and tone to sound confident and knowledgeable.
Enunciate clearly at an audible volume to boost the impact of your words by making them easier to understand.
