OK, I appreciate you're flogging a business here, but in case anyone new to interviews is watching. This sentence is misleading. I mean, it might be a technically true in the sense that you probably won't be invited to an interview if you materially lack these. However, the implication that these aren't important is a false one.
What is true is that there are non-technical skills that are well worth developing. Specifically, clear communication and presentation skills. If you can't articulate how your skills, experience and education are relevant to the interviewer then, yes, you may well struggle in an interview.
The website pretty much says this, plus or minus, but the implication of your comment, that you need Trumpian levels of self confidence to get a job, is questionable. Especially in tech roles.

This is so true, unfortunately. I think we must redefine some concepts like being down to earth. We should learn to be proud of our own achievements and shouldn't under estimate ourselves. This is the key to success everywhere, including the job interviews.
Yes, exactly, society has forced us to think low and expect less from ourselves.
And i personally have found this, As the only key for all the failures in my life. But the moment i realized this, And started to think differently things started to change drastically.

The no.1 reason for your failure in interviews is your mindset.
We live in a culture, Where we are taught to keep our head down. To Follow the rules. To be humble and to think low of ourselves.
But If you think low of yourself. If you are unsure of your skills,It is reflected in your words, it is reflected in your answers. And it is reflected in how you carry yourself.
So in order to avoid the fate of 99% other candidates. You should not accept the roles that society makes you to believe. You need to Recreate yourself by forging a new identity one that commands attention
and never bores the interviewers.
You must become the master of your own image rather then letting interviewers define it for you.
Thus the best way to avoid rejection, Is to shift your mindset, And to recreate the image of yourself you have in your own mind.
As the great Bruce lee once said
“Defeat is a state of mind; no one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.”
