Getting nervous before or during an interview is natural but there are things you can do to combat it.

First off, practice makes perfect! The more you interview, the more confident you'll be.

Do company research well in advance so that you can relax before the interview rather than scrambling to get ready at the last minute.

When it comes to answering interview questions, avoid trying to memorize scripted answers that you might have read somewhere. Instead, focus on answering the questions in a way that makes sense to you that showcases your experience and skills.

On the day of the interview, wear comfortable clothing that suits the type of interview you're attending and ensure you arrive in advance so that you don't have to rush to get there.

Remember to bring copies of your resume with you ensuring that you bring one for yourself, too. You might need to refer to your resume during the interview and having a copy for you to look at means you don't have to memorize everything you've written but can still comfortably refer to its contents.

Finally, don't place undue pressure on yourself. Don't make it seem like the interview is a do or die situation because it isn't. Doing your best means going into the interview relaxed and calm.

The more you interview the more confident you'll be. Preparing well in advance for interviews and ensuring you arrive early will also help to avoid any last minute rushing around that causes your blood pressure to skyrocket.
