Not super confident in my resume which is then reflecting in my behaviorals

I'm not super confident in my resume. I'm from a non-target, have multiple finance internship experience but those internships aren't related to investment banking and buyside roles. As a result, I'm having trouble coming up with good behavioral answers. I could really use some help on how to deal with my confidence and coming up with behaviorals plss

  4. Result

That's how you answer behaviorals. Doesn't need to be IB related

Buddy, this whole job is about selling and confidence. I've seen people that I wouldn't trust to pick up my dry cleaning book multi-million dollar deals just due to charisma.

Get confident real fast, you know what you're going to be asked, study up and practice. Even if the answers are bullshit, unless they're obviously bullshit and can be fact checked (don't recommend), people just want a good story.

For example, you had an internship at something entirely unrelated but you built a model to help the team understand a scenario, or you helped with a competitive analysis to look at a new business segment, you supported a business development effort by organizing buyer lists.

You know this stuff, get out of your head...
