Q9 . What is the difference between confidence and over confidence?
SOLUTION
“I should be able to accomplish this” - is confidence “do not worry We will manage this” - is overconfidence “with the skillset we have, we can deliver this within the scheduled time” - confidence “Why worry about the skillsets We will manage deliverables” - overconfidence As far as I am concerned, considering the limitations of the facilities available, if we commit that is confidence Without basically understanding the factors available, if somebody commits the impossible, it is overconfidence
Q10 . How long do you plan on working in our company?
