what do i do when i get nervous at an interveiw

Hi Danyelle. When and if I ever get nervous; I just say a prayer. Try it, Prayer works with everything!!:)

Try taking a few deep breaths and stay calm, interviews don't last long. First impressions mean alot, be yourself. You'll do just fine, and good luck:-)

In addition to all this good advice on being prepared, try some of these simple physical things:
Be a superhero. Before you get there, maybe before you leave home or are alone in the restroom, stand with your hands on your hips, good posture, chin up, feet apart just like Superman or Wonder Woman ready to conquer anything. Body and mind are connected, so use these physical postures to battle the nervousness. Feel silly? Okay, then laugh at yourself and lighten the mood. Don't scoff: it really works.
Try subtle hand massage if you're nervous during the interview. Ever had a manicure? People find hand massage calming, so try it for yourself. Use the thumb of one hand in a circular motion to massage the palm of the other hand. Under the table, please -- you don't want to appear to be wringing your hands!
Take possession of the elevator. While everyone else is huddling at the back or in a corner, staring at the lighted numbers, you stand in the middle, eyes forward, back comfortably straight. You OWN that elevator, even when you're alone. It is your throne room. Do this as often as you can, and it will help inspire self-confidence. Also good for nervous public speakers.
Although I felt foolish at first, I have tried these three things and find they work. Why not give 'em a whirl?

take deep breath an keep a great attitude an u can get through it.

First of all, why are YOU nervous? All the real pressure is on the interviewer to get it right. Their company is trying to fill an openi ng. The company is counting on this person to hit a home run. Care to guess how often that actually happens??? This is why it's so important to have a source of income while you are applying for that perfect job opportunity. It allows you to think to yourself, " I wasn't looking for a job when I found this one". I know that sounds a little arrogant, but it's a great way to not only quell the anxiety you may feel but it also helps you to project an aura of self confidence. Don't have a job? No problem. You have nothing to lose by applying. I know people are reading this and going crazy but, you should practice little self hypnosis tricks like this. Professional sales people do it all the time. Read up on creating a super persona. It's really very easy and it will not only help you land that job but, it will also enhance your performance once you are on the job. Best of luck and remember to breath.

remember to go over top ten interview questions. Must job interviewers ask to same questions. If you have thouth these out you will become less nervous knowing you already have an answer.

When I land an interview I approach it with the attitude that I already have the job its their job to seduce me into working for them. I make sure to have open ended questions prepared and I write down their answers and rate them just like they are rating me.

Just pray

Hi Danyelle, The advice so far is great. Here are my thoughts (which may inadvertently merely echo those of others).
