You are likely to be nervous. It is possible that the interviewer will be nervous too! Most people have their own ways of handling nerves, but normally you can help control them by reminding yourself that you have done as much preparation as possible.

Try the following:

  • Check the directions and have a contingency plan in case your original plans do not work out.
  • Give yourself plenty of time to not only arrive but also to find the building and the room.
  • Take a deep breath and remind yourself that you are going for an interview, not to face the firing squad
