I was terrified. Sweaty hands, over-rehearsed answers - the whole deal.
But here’s what actually helped: Research the company - at least pretend you care.
-Practice common questions. “Tell me about yourself” will come up. Don’t BS. If you don’t know something, admit it (but show willingness to learn).
-Ask questions. Makes you look engaged, not desperate. I’d been stressing about my application before the interview, to the extent that I was almost going to pay someone to write my personal statement and redo my CV with affordable resume writing services.
To be honest, it’s all in the prep. Messed it up? Chill. Confidence > perfection. How’d your first interview go?
