Confidence in interviews comes from preparation and practising the right words of course! This is where phrasal verbs come in.
Many learners avoid phrasal verbs because they feel too informal. But in interviews, the right phrasal verbs can help you sound natural and confident.
Instead of: I made a plan for the project.
Use: I came up with a plan for the project.
One small change = a stronger impression.
