How to Be Self-Confident in Your Workplace

Do you ever feel you're adding massive value to the business that you worked for but you don't feel confident in the workplace?

Perception is a reality, and this is where you're judged by other people.

I know his resume, and when he read me the job qualifications, it really did sound perfect for him.
