I'm petrified as its going to be 2 people interviewing me, not had a proper interview for 10yrs. However I am really pleased to get the interview as I thought my application form was pants, I can feel the knots in my stomach already

don't panic TLV you just need to remember to breath. what inparticular worries you?

the fact that its 2 people doing the interviewing and the worry that they won't like me (sounds daft I know) I always remember 10yr ago going for a job and I lost out to another girl a year later I applied for the same job with the same company and I got the job (the orignal girl was promoted) they chose her in the first place coz she was more bubbly (I thought I was being quite professional in my interview) it still haunts me now, do I appear bubbly or professional how do i strike the right balance

TLV just be yourself, you can't act in an interview, nerves won't let you do it properly. Is it a job that you have experience in?

and don't worry about people liking you, people can't make a judgement on your personality in that space of time, they can judge your suitability for a job but it takes a while to get to knpw someones personality.

right so you need to rememeber that you can do the job, be confident without being cocky and just try not to let the situation get to you, easier said than done I know!!!

I think when its a job that seems perfect then the pressure is all the more, i am very much a fatalist and think well if its meant to be i will get the job, this kind of attitude does help me stay calm i think
