Well, according to me in short confidence means "I can do this work' and overconfidence means "ONLY I can do this work' and also confidence more than required is harmful and that's called overconfidence. That's the difference.

In my opinion, confidence is to prepare before attending an interview and then see a possibility of getting the job while overconfidence is to attend an interview without preparation and still expecting oneself to get the job.

Confidence is " I can do this work " and overconfidence is " only I can do this work ". Like we are here for the job interview think " I will get this job is a confidence " and " only I will get this job is an overconfidence".

Confidence literally means reality. We don't need to talk, the result of our work will give the answer to every question.
Over confidence is virtuality. We imagine more than what really happens and overtalks about everything.

"Confidence" is that 'coming to a conclusion with positive perception duly calculating various factors behind in mind whereas "Over-confidence" is coming to a conclusion without calculations and vague insight at the object.

Confidence is something that makes you believe that you can do a particular thing whereas when overconfidence comes into play it makes you believe that only you can do a particular thing & no one else is capable as you are.

Confidence is characterised by having positive and realistic beliefs in your abilities.
Overconfidence is when you have an excessive belief in your abilities; it can cause you to underestimate something and make mistakes.

According to me, Confidence is the way of expressing your thoughts positively and as well as appreciating other's way of thinking.
But, overconfidence is thinking that you are the only one who is right and others aren't.
