Hi all,
Hope you are all doing fine :))
Well, tomorrow I have this final interview and I am really scared.
I have gone to two of them previously for the same company and now it is the final interview. The decisive one. I am really scared. I really want to get through that but I tend to be intimidated easily at the thought of going and presenting myself.
As it is, this is my very first time and I have got only this job place for interview.
I really really want this job, disregarding any other disturbing factors as there may be plenty of them.
Any ideas how to get through an interview successfully? Thanks loads, friends :))

Well done on your up coming interview. You must be pretty high up on the potential new bosses list to get a final interview!
You wouldn't have got this far without being someone they are really interested in and reasonably confident about being the kind of employee they would like.
Being intimidated is common for most people who are going through an interview process. You are not alone in that.
Do you have some questions that you think they might ask you? If so list them down and practice answering them the best you can.
Here's a couple of links that might help with those questions:

http://www.wisebread.com/how-to-answer-23-of-the-most-common-interview-questions
Also It can be really helpful sometimes trying to remember that you got this far because of who you are and if they want you to join their team it's because of who you are. If not, then there will be something even better for you out there.
But also...
The fact that you really want this job means that you are definitely in a good place to have it. As opposed to someone who kind of wants it but kind of not.
And
You sound like someone who wants to impress which is exactly what an employer is looking for.
If you have any access to Rescue Remedy to help calm you that can help but also knowing that you most probably are going to be nervous and accepting this can help take the pressure off of yourself to "not be nervous" - You can almost bet that any one else who is interviewing for this position is going to be nervous as well - even if they don't look it!!
I hope that has helped a little.
Good luck for your interview. Let me know how it went! :)
You know how to get their attention and it is hard to get to that final interview like you have done. It means they are interested and they want you to succeed. They are on your side. They are not the enemy.
Also what may help is to not take it so seriously even though it is, think to yourself that it is not that big of deal, that you don't really care whether you get it or not, and that may reduce the stress you feel. Good luck to you!
@LoveTheStars---thank you so much for the links and support, it really did help
@McJon---thank you for the support,i hope i get the job as well since it is the only interview i have got so far, well, I am not in a hurry since i have not finished college yet but i am in my last year and only one month remains, only giving it a try
@blueskyes---thanks for this positive piece of advice, indeed they were with me and they were so nice much more to my expectations
@bookworm---thank you, yea i was myself, true in every answers even if it might play against me but i was honnest with every answers...actually i am quite impressed of how i behaved and answered each and every of their questions.
Thank you so much guys, it really means a lot for me, only knowing that you will always be there for me. Thanks loads. Well, it has gone pretty well today. They told me that I will be getting an answer by the end of next week. Though the technical manager told me that he would have expected much more from me from the second practical test but I tried to save myself by saying since the test was in french and we study everything in English at the university, so it was a little awkward to reply the technical questions in french as well as we were time-bounded, maybe that's the reason that had prevented me from doing my best. But, I also added that I have answered as much as I can, as much I had the capacity of answering. Well, I was really sincere with the recruiters and to myself in the interview. I am pretty satisfied though. I have answered without being nervous. I really hope now that I do get a positive reply.
Thanks again for being there :))) hugs and kisses to you all :))
That is a great feeling to be satisfied with your answers, and you were sincere, that sounds successful. I hope that you get a positive response, and now you can be secure that you did your best to your ability, your capacity. Thats all we can do anyway, do our best and hope for the best. I wish you the best news too!
HUGS and much admiration for you and what you have accomplished!
Now you deserve a well needed break? Go and do something nice for yourself today = )
