Interview nerves and how to combat them

We all get nervous, but excessive nerves before an interview can mean the difference between a good interview and a bad one. So how can you minimise your interview nerves?

The key is preparation:

• Know exactly where you're going & leave plenty of time to get there
• Find out as much as you can about the organisation, and if possible, the individual who is interviewing you. Make notes in a notebook you can take with you or refer to it if you're having a phone or online interview.
• Know your CV (and everything it says) inside out. Print out a copy to refer to.
• Prepare some questions, and write them down in your notebook

Finally, If it's been a while since you did an interview, find someone to role play some interviews with you. The more you practice, the more relaxed you will be.
