Well, goodluck. All you have to do is to show them that you can do the job they ask you for. Show them some confidence and everything will be alright. I wish you all the best.

You remind me, when i was take an interview for the first time in my life. All i can do back there, just preyed and suggest myself to be more confident. Just think that you have to face of is another human being. Not an allien or God. Wish you luck. GBU.

hi, med889, let go your nervousness today so tomorrow it will be gone. maybe you are so excited, that's why you feel that way. tomorrow, just be yourself. be confident. wear a comfortable clothes. do a mental exrcise saying "I can do this" over and over again. be there one hour before the interview, so you still have time to comfort yourself to be calm.

you must be calm and to look only in eyes of the questioning If he/she say that you have not experience you must say "I am a good student and fast learner" (a decent suit is recommended:) good luck !

Hi, Congratulation you got interview on ur job and wish you good luck. Well, there are many things you can do on Job Interview. First, dress profession. Second, has resume set up in a nice folder. Third, be there on time and dont be nervous, just think you are going to talk to someone that they will give u the money. Nothing hard right? learn how to say in front of the mirror and that would help you see how u do. when on interview, always sell yourself... make sure they get the message that you really want the job. wish you good luck

It's normal to be nervous when we have a job interview, when you will be doing the interview, i'm sure you will become calm naturally, i was like you, very stressed before the interview and when it comes, i speak normally and try my best to answer to the questions, be polite, describe your project, say that you love this job because blabla, ect... Don't say: that you need money, that you take this job because it was the only one left. Good luck! ^^

Hi - good luck for your interview tomorrow - one of the best ways to generate calm in the interview is to prepare yourself as much as you can beforehand so that you feel confident about your knowledge of the company that you are going to see and the job you have applied for. Think about what you want the interviewers to know about you and plan ways of getting that message across. If you know what the job expects of you, you will have an idea of the type of questions they will ask and that gives you the edge in terms of planning how to get your info across. Think up some examples of experience that you've had which you can weave into your answers as well in order to show how you meet the criteria from the job description and re-visit what you wrote in your application - they shortlisted you on that info so they will be interested to hear more about that. Give yourself time to process the questions they ask you, consider your answer before speaking, don't be afraid of a few seconds thinking time, interviewers will appreciate the fact that you have thought through your response and remember to smile and make eye contact. Hopefully that will generate a positive response from the interviewers which will help you feel calmer about being there :) Sorry can't be more specific as I don't know what field you are applying in etc but hope that's a bit helpful
