A Few Words From a Degree Apprentice:

“In interviews, it will boost the interviewer’s perception of you massively if you speak in a CUTE way. By speaking with confidence and choosing your words thoughtfully, you can create a strong impression on the interviewer.

This not only enhances your perceived intelligence, but also showcases your unique and intuitive communication style. (CUTE = Confident, Unique, Thoughtful, Engaging)”
