How does one sound confident?

Over the many years of assisting others be successful in the endeavors to become re-employed we talk about sounding confident. So, just what is that sound?

Some noticeable traits of sounding confident might be:

Speaking clearly-Not stuttering
Pausing-No ah's or um's
Expanding ones vocabulary-Not repeating the same adjective over and over
Making good eye contact-No darting our eyes or looking away
Using good vocal projection-Not speaking weakly or without volume
Speak in complete sentences-Not babbling on and on

These are but a few traits to get you started. Remember that Toastmasters can assist you with this.
