Importance of speaking up in an interview

Today I saw someone wearing a t-shirt with the inscription: “Your dress will speak a lot about you, but not if you are dumb”. To make an impression, you need to speak up. If you fumble when the interviewer asks a question such as “Tell me about yourself” or “What are your strengths?” and you blame it on your shyness, you cannot get that job which you deserve. Start preparing your answers well and practice in front of a mirror and then with your friends and then it becomes easy for you to speak. Only precaution is that your answers need to be honest. If you tell outright lies and if you are caught in cross questioning, you have ruined your chances. Even when telling about your weaknesses, tell in such a manner that you have already taken measures to overcome that weakness and have improved. A known weakness on which you have taken an action will not come across as a real stumbling block in your selection. So go ahead and find out what your weaknesses are by introspecting, by asking for feedback from friends and take action to overcome them. You can do it.
