I tend to be a little overconfident sometimes and so I think that's how I have landed most of my gigs/jobs over the years. I don't think this always serves me well (sometimes I over promise and under deliver) but for the most part, I do think my sense of confidence has helped me in my career. You just gotta convince yourself that you're awesome and you can do anything

To have some level of confidence is good until it gets to the point of arrogance. I would suspect most supervisors would pick a confident candidate over one that is less than confident.
