Interview today

Hello, am interviewing today for a job I'd love.

A step up, challenging, good prospects... Am in a toxic place at the moment and have lost all faith and confidence in my abilities. Please can you pass on any tips for strong interview performance?

Watch this Ted talk, it’s brilliant and should help to boost your confidence.
Don’t rush to answer questions, pause and take a deep breath to help you compose your answer.
Good luck!

Thank you! Am so nervous and there is so much relying on me getting a new job, which is making it harder.

I echo above, pause and take your time. Don't be afraid to ask them to repeat the question (to clarify and to buy you more thinking time).

Think of a couple of good questions for the end:

How do you see the role evolving over the next 2 years?
What's a typical day in the office like?
What are your biggest challenges right now?

It's always worked for me. Good luck!
