Job Interview Questions: How can I stop being nervous on a job interview?

Usually when I go for a job interview i find myself to be very nervous, dry-mouth and constantly repeating the same words...I've been told to just relax and be yourself but thats even hard to do. I wanna know is there anything I can possibly do to become less nervous, be myself and still land the job????

A Job Interview Without Cold Sweats

Recommended Answer:
Ooh, I'm used to always be very nervous during job interviews! I felt like they were judging me!

What I did was I told myself to calm down over and over. Just think, the interviewer certainly won't want to hire a nervous wreck!

If you get dry mouth, just be glad you won't be spitting when you talk. LOL.

It also helps to practice talking to someone, maybe an older brother or your parent.

In the end, just remind yourself that even if you don't get the job you atleast know what to expect in the next interview!

World's Best Job Interview Tips

• This is very common. There are a couple of things you can do. First of all, convince yourself that this job is not really that important. You can take it or leave it. Realize that the interviewer is also a bit nervous. He/She has never met you before either. Speak in a friendly calming tone to them as you would any other person that you have just met. There is a tendency for you to want to fill in the spaces of silence in the conversation with, as you said, repeating the same words over again. Do not try to keep the conversation going. Just sit there quietly and wait for the interviewer to ask another question. Then answer with a short accurate reply. Realize that the person is just another human with the same thoughts and feelings that you have. They also had to go through a nerve wracking interview like you are to get their job.


• This is completely normal. Take some deep breaths, let the interviewer know that you are nervous, some times admitting your fear makes it seem less. Tell yourself, "This is the job for me" and "No fear"
  Just stop and think before you answer the questions, and try to be a calm on the outside as possible.
  Remember, the interviewer might be as nervous as you!
  Good Luck!


• go in there with the attitude that you already have the job, this is just a formality. think of the interviewer as a friend, and treat them like one. remind yourself it isn't the end of the world if you don't get the job. have lots of candy or breath mints on hand, and make sure to offer one to the person giving the interview... don't know why this seems to break the ice but it does. call them by their first name, helps to think of them as a friend. share something silly and personal when you're shaking their hand.... like "i was almost late getting here because i was so nervous i forgot to put my socks on!"


• Is this REALLY a mental health question? Almost everybody is nervous during a job interview.


• Just be yourself and just chill the night before - maybe in front of the television. Try positive thinking like 'I can do this .'


• Have a beer in the parking lot before the interview.


• Masturbate. It'll reduce the stress.


• God can help you live a better life if you want Him to help you. You can have a personal relationship with God by saying the prayer below. God is our Creator, all-knowing, all-powerful, eternal, holy, love. God loves us and sent us His Son, Jesus Christ, so we can go to heaven if we know and follow Him. Forever means without end -- time on and on without death. Forever is what happens after we die. Either we go to heaven and be with God forever, or we go to hell which is very bad and painful forever. The good people who are saved believers in Jesus Christ go to heaven. The bad people go to hell. We need to know and follow God in this world to get to heaven in the next world. We follow God by loving and obeying Him and loving others for Him. Jesus Christ, God's Son, is our bridge to God. Jesus died on the cross to cancel our sins. We need to accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Savior forever to receive God's blessing and forgiveness plus go to heaven to be with God forever after we die. This is about being a born-again Christian. Faith in God is a gift from God. You can pray for faith in God. Just speak out and ask God for the faith to believe in Him and to follow Him. Some people find faith in God when they realize the beauty in the world is made by God. Evolution can't explain the world's natural beauty, for example, the parks in the world, animals, flowers, peacocks, sunsets, butterflies, rainbows, etc. After you have your faith on, you can pray a sinner's prayer to be a born-again Christian. This prayer is very important and should be said with a sincere heart and faith in God. This is the prayer: "Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that Jesus Christ is the sacrifice for our sins. I have done the following sins (state these out) and I pray to discontinue these sins. I pray to receive Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever. In Jesus' name, amen." You could find a good Christian church and try a weekly Bible study group with them to learn more. You can pray to God about your daily life.
