Good Morning guys!

I've got an interview today that I'm so nervous for, it's been a long time since I've been to one with being in the same workplace for so long.

I despise the interview questions

Any pep talk or some positive news would be great!

Obviously good luck !

Otherwise do as much prep as you can, and be as relaxed as you can. If you've got to the interview stage they are interested in you which is a big plus. And remember it's a two way process, don't be nervous about asking questions yourself.

The one thing I try to remember is that interviewers are people too.

Forget this seeing them named BS, but don’t be afraid to ask them to clarify anything you don’t understand and remember you can take notes in with you (usually) as its not an exam - this is easier when doing remote interviews.

Good luck

Hope it goes well for you. Remember to have questions prepared to ask them. One I use that makes them think it 'If I'm successful in being offered this position, what would you consider my priorities to be during my 1st couple of weeks?'

Deep, calming breaths will help as will plenty of research on the company you're interviewing for

Lots of luck!

Just think about previous experiences when answering questions even if it's from your home life and do a bit of research about the company, you will smash it good luck

Best of luck Op! Wear something you feel confident and comfortable in, don't forget to go to the toilet before. Oh and breathe. Not exaggerated weird ones in front of the interviewer but long slow calming ones. You've got this OP! x

Just take the view of you are offering your services to the company and just lay out the benefits of them hiring you. If they didn’t believe in you, you wouldn’t have got the interview. You must have really wowed them so far to get to this point given how competitive the job market is now. You don’t need it, but good luck anyway.

Be assertive not fearful.

Keep answers short no need for details.

Make clear you are a good timekeeper.

At the end of the interview if they haven't told you ask when you will hear from them.

Good luck

Probably not helpful but wear those bunny ears...

Hope it goes well, is it face to face or Zoom? Either can be daunting.

Interviewed a lot of people in my time, be natural, don't try to be too clever and if you don't know the answer to a question don't try to bluff. And take your time answering a question if you need a few moments to think about it.

Good luck

Very best of luck!

If it's any encouragement, I've never interviewed anyone unless they looked a very good match on paper, so they're already interested in you and think you are suitable for the role.

Otherwise just look at it as someone letting you talk about yourself for a while, and who doesn't love that?

Ooh I like that! Top tip.

Good luck OP. No tips from me sorry, I'm shit at interviews.

So actually my tip would be 'don't be like me'. X

All the best OP.

Three tips:

1. Take three long deep breaths before you go in.

2. Listen actively. Dont worry about the answer while they are talking.

3. If you feel stuck any point, take a breath, that usually helps to calm nerves.

Good luck

Believe in yourself first and foremost.

Don't feel rushed, take time to answer the questions, if unsure ask them to repeat it.

And remember, just because they are interviewing you, doesn't mean they are any good at it.

You've got this!

Lots of luck OP xxx

Good luck

Remember they need you as much as you need them. You are also interviewing them to see if you would like to work there. So ask them some questions about what it’s like to work there as well. Etc
