[QUOTE="Nicktim, post: 50058, member: 6132"] Some things that help me: - The gym helps me stay calm, take my mind off things bothering me and makes me feel good so the night before an interview I would go for a workout. (Replace for home exercise with the gyms closed!) - Don't eat anything heavy the night/morning before the interview. Might sound gross but nerves and a full stomach are a recipe for disaster. Equally, make sure you do eat something before an interview because you need the energy to keep you going. I know people who don't eat when they're nervous and end with rumbly stomachs and a lack of energy. - Make sure you have double and triple checked your interview location and how you're getting there and expect the worst when it comes to transport! (Less relevant with COVID but at least make sure you know how to access the link and you're practically prepared for a video interview - kick out any roommates and tidy your workspace). - Assuming you have done your interview prep in advance, avoid last minute cramming which will probably make you even more nervous and actually be counterproductive. Instead spend the night before the interview doing something you enjoy or that you find relaxing (for me that would involve watching football or playing Xbox, but will be different for everybody). Good luck! [/QUOTE]
