It is natural and normal to have a bit of the jitters before an interview. Take a quick read on a few tips to squash the nerves.
My personal advice:
1. Do your homework on the company, on the position, on the interviewer, and on why the company shoudl hire you. The more preparation, the more likely it is that you will feel more confident. The confidence will help you to connect more, and be your best you.
2. Avoid drinking caffeine before the interview. Studies show that Caffeine will magnify, and could potentially distort your nerves.
3. Know that jitters is really energy, and all you have to do is channel the energy.
4. Practice answering questions with friends and family. Record some of your responses, and listen to how you sound. The chances are you are going to sound a lot less nervous than you thought you sounded. Doing this will help to calm you.
I hope that these suggestions help. Make it a great day!
