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 a positive belief in oneself and one's abilities. It comes from a genuine understanding of one's strengths and experiences.

On the other hand, overconfidence refers to an excessive or unwarranted belief in one's abilities, often without proper justification or evidence.

In short, confidence is a healthy and balanced belief in oneself, whereas overconfidence potentially unrealistic perception of one's abilities.

Sir, Confidence is the good trait to have where a person is sure about his course of action or activity and it comes from past success and right decisions.

Overconfidence is excessive belief in their own abilities ignoring the fact that their decision can be wrong too.

Thank you, Sir.

Preparing for something and having a feeling that you will perform well at it is confidence and not preparing for something but still thinking that you will perform excellently at it is over confidence.
