I usually don't get nervous but for some reason I'm apprehensive as hell about my interview at Emory tomorrow morning. The one-on-oneinterview should be fine. But there's another one with 2 students, 2 faculty members and a 4th year med student. I sometimes have trouble expressing myselfin non-intimate situations.



And nobody say

As an HR major who conducts interviews all the time... Its ok to be nervous; but just be yourself.

One suggestion I would tell is that whenever faced with a question about a past experience, if it is about something negative, be sure to add in things thatyou did to make the situation better, AND the results of the situation.

Thats one key thing that I would suggest.

I know the feeling though; when I applied for the job I have now, I was nervous as hell because I felt that I didnt do well in the interview. Still, just beyourself. Dont be emotionless; have fun, show them that you have a side thats non-work related.

Public speaking "tricks" or tips include stretching/breathing and what always helps me is loosening my jaw especially massaging the top part of myjaw directly below your sideburns. that area tightens up when you're nervous or you're not warmed up, it helps get you ready to speak clearly.

go over your main points that you want to get across, have a bit of a gameplan, things you want to work into the conversation you think will win them over.once you get through those points you'll be in familiar territory and firing on all cylinders.

Where can I find avirgin to sacrifice this late? Any NTers wanna give up their sister, I'll paypal whatever price you name.
 
Just be as prepared as possible. The more prepared you are the less nervous you become. No matter how much you prepare for the interview though, you still maybe nervous, it's natural. But being prepared will overcome that even if you stumble on your words / whatever goofy thing you do.
 
Honestly, what really helps me is drinking a Red Bull or a 5 hour energy shot. It suppose to help with your mental focus.

I have a virgin sibling I can part with. It's fat and a man, but that's ok i'll just give you a discount.
 
When I have to do something like that... I work out or go running a few hours before. I have no clue why, but it worked for me.

And keep telling myself I'm 100% prepare for what I'm about to do.
