- Re-read all the information you have gathered
about the company and re-read your prepared questions
- Practice your interview responses to tough
questions (best if done out loud) ~ see the Interview
Practice File
- Eat well (do not skip meals!), and avoiding
foods that commonly disagree with you. Even if your interview
appointment is scheduled for your lunch hour, prepare to take
something with you that can be eaten beforehand. Dry cereal
and a bottle of water will work in a pinch to stop stomach noises
and nervous stomach acid
- Get a good night's sleep, and get up earlier
than normal for early morning appointments, so that you have
plenty of time to get ready and relax
- Take a leisurely walk if you find yourself
feeling overwhelmed with pre-interview jitters
- Confirm that baby sitters will arrive on time,
and have a back up plan if this fails
- Make certain any other responsibilities are
accounted for, in case the interview runs longer than you assumed
(clear your schedule, etc.)
- For people who suffer from sweaty palms during
stressful situations, apply antiperspirant followed by foot
or body powder to the palms of your hands, and blot with a facial
tissue or cloth (to remove any excess). Really, this works.

- Find (make) time to relax (even if
it is just 10 minutes) and do positive affirmation exercises
(envision yourself working for this company and envision
a positive outcome to the interview.
Continue to give yourself positive messages throughout
the day, "I'm a great candidate for this position. I
can make a valuable contribution to this company. I
have skills and abilities that are worthy of compensation
and a job offer.")
