A trial run prior to the day of the interview will probably save you a lot of grief on the D day! If you know where you are going, it may help ease the initial interview heebie-jeebies! Find out who is interviewing you and be prepared to wait for your turn at the day of the interview. You might find it quite nerve-wracking waiting outside the interview room for half an hour or more, but be prepared for this wait as usually, interviewers take their time in asking questions. The person before you may be getting grilled, resulting in you having to wait an extra 10 minutes. Expect this to happen!
Projecting a winning “can do” attitude in the way that you present yourself is imperative. With your attitude and self-confidence, you can do wonders in telling the interviewer why you are a great fit for the proposed job. And make sure that you are aware of how to handle the interview non-verbals! What are these? Your body language and how you shift eyes is another way of communicating with a prospective employer aka interviewer. If you are uncomfortable with yourself, it will show up in your body language and that may not work too well with the person taking your interview.
