Hello, I interview people almost every day at my job and wanted to pass on a few things. First of all it is VERY common for the person I am interviewing to be nervous, whether it is a dream job – or a case where they are late on rent and need a paycheck asap. You are not alone when it comes to that, and if it helps I would MUCH rather interview someone who was very nervous, than interview someone who doesn’t seem to care. It may sound silly but ask yourself questions you think you might be asked about the position before you go to the interview (and practice answering them out loud it really helps) so there is less chance of being surprised (even just having confidence in a few answers will help you with the rest). I always like the candidates who ask “What traits make someone successful in this position?” or ” What do you enjoy about working here”. Remember you are interviewing the potential job too. There is a big difference from being overconfident and being sure that you are bringing something to the table that the employer wants to have. I would also suggest checking out the companies website, show the hiring manager that you care about the position and did some research.

Believe in yourself, and don’t be ashamed about how that interview went. If nothing else, use it as experience and it will make the next interview that much easier. Whenever you interview next, know that I am pulling for you.

Have a great day!
