Definatley just be yourself. Whomever you are talking to, look them in the eye. Come up with some questions to ask the interviewer(s) about the company and the job itself. Ask them why the person before you left if you are replacing someone. Relax, and smile! Use proper English - do not use words like "ain't, gonna, etc.." Shake everyone's hand when you meet them. Thank them for their time and the interview. Tell them that you look forward to hearing from them about the position. Shake their hand again before you leave. Also, get their business cards or their names/addresses and immediately send them thank you letters. Good luck! You'll do fine - they know that people are nervous about interviews. Just show them confidence!

They say that Job interviews are hard. Be yourself, be honest. Don't chew gum and never have a cigarette before the interview, the smell of the smoke can put the potential employer off. Turn off your mobile and have all the relevant information at hand IE passport, bank details and drivers licence. I feel that you should enjoy being interviewed, you want this job and you are selling you skills. So don't be nervous and you will be OK

Make sure you dress appropriately for the interview. Arrive a little early. Do as much research on the company that you can so that you can convey to the person interviewing you that you know alot about the company. Research some basic interview questions on the web, and practice answering them. You might get standard questions like "what are your strengths/weaknesses" - be prepared with solid answers. If they ask you to tell them about yourself, they don't want to hear a bunch of personal stuff. Walk them through your experience. And if you don't have any experience yet, talk about how you are prepared for the job.

Breath in and out... Make sure during the interview you focus on the question. Take a breath and answer the questions. Think of some questions that you think they may ask and come up with a couple of answers.
Also come up with a couple of questions of your own. Your not the only one being evaluated. You need to know if this company is going to fit you.
Good luck

don't be nervous because when you are they can see that and they might judge you and base their decision on how you act...idk what your interviewing for, but if it's something where you are around people, then when they see your nervous around 3 or 4 people, they know it will be worse when your faced with many people at once! just be yourself, be honest, dress nicely, and make a good appearance!!!

Just relax - - you will be talking to another human being. Be honest and direct and be sure that your answers are focused on what is important to the organization you are trying to get into and the individual and their function in that organization.
Good luck.

I had learned this at a management seminar, we were told that if you get nervous while interviewing applicants for jobs, to calm yourself, you should picture the person in their underwear--it would take the "edge" off and you will be able to focus on your questions----I assume it could work the otherway around.........good luck to you..........ps...........answer all your questions asked of you with complete eye focus with the interviewer--it shows sincerity, honesty and will give you the one up on the next guy...........good luck..........

Get a good night sleep. When you go into the interview, smile and introduce yourself, and shake hands. Relax, you'll be fine.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS MATTER. Dress to the role. Whipe your hands before shaking hands, noone wants to shake sweaty hands. Smile. Be positivie. Be honest.
