The interviewing portion of any job is arguably one of the most stressful and sweat-inducing occasions of the job search process. However, it is also an inevitable part of any job hunt, and something to see as a challenge, rather than a death wish. One of the best ways to change your approach to the interview from fear to confidence is to prepare for it - plain and simple. Go in with a plan, know what you want to get out of this interview, but don't come off as thinking this interview is all about you, because it's not. It's about what you can offer their company, and what the benefits are of hiring you as opposed to any other candidate sitting outside in the hallway.

For further tips, consider attending Career Service's Interview Preparation Day this Thursday, Feb. 23rd to get interview experience and feedback.

They are a tool to help prepare yourself for the real thing, and they should be treated accordingly and prepared for just as you would for a real interview, but don’t put too much pressure on yourself. It will all work out.
