" I had an interview too and was so nervous. I worked on my anxiety and meditated. I also pretended to be a confident person like an actess on tv. I pumped myself out by listening to exercise music.
You already know how to answer the questions. Tell me about yourself. Well I have always had an interest in *** and then talk about your qualifications. You strengths: I enjoy working with ppl or I get along with everyone. Weakness: I tend to be too detailed at things or something positive that can be negative. Once you got an answer in your mind for thise stupid questions work on your anxiety. I was so nervous for my interview but once I met withthe person who was really nice I was hired on the spot. It was more stressful 30 min before than first few seconds into the interview.
Good luck "
