[QUOTE="Lottie, post: 1691, member: 99"] Hey I'm sorry for the delayed response, I've been away! Ah, I always feel so nervous, like so-nervous-I-could-be-sick nervous for interviews. The graduate recruitment lady actually said to me in the interview "You seem really confident and unflappable", I told her I'd felt sick all day haha. The fact that you can really prepare for interviews helped my nerves, I think. Realistically, you know what they're going to ask you. They might not ask it all, they might ask random curve ball questions, but you can prepare for the vast majority of interview questions and I think that helped me to relax a bit. I think the 'fake it 'til you make it' motto is helpful here and a change in the way you see interviews. Look at the interview as YOUR CHANCE, your opportunity to show them how great you are and to make the most of everything you've worked for. By interview, they're already interested in you, you've (arguably - I think so anyway!) done the hard part in standing out at application and they want to meet you. I'm sure you're an interesting person and can speak to people, so perhaps looking at interviews as a chance to show them why you deserve the TC, instead of panicking about being grilled/scrutinised, might help. Also, the obvious things like eat properly the days leading up to the interview, do some exercise to clear your head (which'll also help you sleep better), listen to music before it if that's going to help etc. Think exam-style routines :) I hope that's helpful! :) x [/QUOTE]
