What are suggestions for calming yourself before and during an interview?

First off, be well prepared: * Research the company * Do serious introspection. Why have you chosen this career path? Why is this company right for you? * Practice interview questions. Have a friend or family member ask you questions as if they were the interviewer. This will make you more confident. Directly before and during the interview, the best thing I can suggest for relaxing is to tell yourself that you don't really *need* the job. It isn't the only job out there. You might like this position, but you could find another. Remind yourself that you could be perfectly happy without it. In fact, you might even be happier. Think of it this way: if they reject you, they have reasons for it. They don't think you're perfect for the job. If that's true (and it probably would be, because they know the job better than you) then you wouldn't really want the job. You want something that's a perfect fit. Also remember that you're interviewing them as well. They want to determine if you are the right fit for the position. If you are, they'd be very lucky to have you. Remember that you are perfect for something. You just need to find that position, and the company needs to find you.

In the links below I have put a guide to interview success that tells you how to structure you answers. The key is in the time spent in preparation.

Describe a time when you had to adapt to a new situation?
This is a competency based interview question where they are looking for evidence of you having used the competency of the ability to set priorities. To answer the question you should use the CAR format. C = context - What was the situation A= Action - What did you do R = Result - what happened as a result of the action that you took You should check out the competencies that are required before the interview using the job advert and the person specification. So if the advert says they need someone with the ability to work as part of a team you will be asked to provide evidence of how you have done this. Prepare your examples and rehearse them before the interview. In that way you can be more relaxed and confident. The links below take you to a more detailed guide on preparing for interviews

Lose the Pre-Interview Nerves?
Heading into an important job interview is enough to shake the nerves of even the most confident person, so you're not alone if your palms start to sweat the night before your interview. Before you let your nerves get the best of you, consider some techniques for preventing anxiety and keeping your cool when you get the pre-interview jitters.PreparationOne of the best ways to avoid feeling nervous before an interview is to arm yourself with enough information and preparation so that you feel comfortable speaking about the position for which you are applying and your specific qualifications. Make a list of the skills you believe make you uniquely qualified for the job and practice talking about them to a family member or friend. You can even have someone you know ask you the types of questions that might come up at the interview, and practice giving an answer. If you've rehearsed your interview, you'll feel more comfortable during the real thing. It's also a good idea to research the company so you go in prepared to talk about the place you'll be working.Keeping HealthyYou want to be not only mentally prepared for your interview, but physically ready to handle it. If you're exhausted or starving, your nerves may flare up because you are not in the best state to combat them. Get plenty of sleep the night before your interview and eat a healthy breakfast on the morning of your interview. A work out the night before will also increase your endorphins and calm you down so that you can get to bed on time and fall asleep. Immediately before you go in to the interview, visit a rest room and dab cold water on your wrists and behind your ears. This will cool your blood and reduce your sweating.VisualizationLeading up the interview, including the time you spend waiting in the lobby, visualize yourself doing well in the interview. Think about how you will feel relaxed and remember to breathe. Also keep things in perspective by imaging what would happen if you do answer a question poorly during the interview. Visualize yourself recovering, and walking out of the interview proud of yourself. After all, if you don't get the job the world will not stop turning. Imaging yourself walking out happy regardless of what happens will help you keep the interview in the big picture.

How to face an interview?
You didn't mention what kind of interview. If it's a job interview, you need to go into it with confidence. You can accomplish that by as learning as much about the prospective employer as you can; as much about the position as you can; and reviewing the positive things about yourself and your abilities for this job. Do this the day before the interview, writing these things down will help you remember them more easily. Then you can go to the interview with confidence and will be able to ask question about what you don't know or don't understand with confidence. If it is another kind of interview, all the same principles apply; be prepared, go with confidence, ask questions when needed.
