Sample Answer:

It's completely normal to feel nervous before a job interview, but there are ways to manage that anxiety and perform well. First, I recommend preparing thoroughly by researching the company and practicing common interview questions. This will help you feel more confident and less anxious. Try to get a good night's sleep before the interview to ensure you're well-rested. On the day of the interview, take a few deep breaths to calm your nerves and arrive early to avoid any last-minute stress. During the interview, maintain good posture, make eye contact, and take your time when answering questions. If you feel overwhelmed, pause for a moment to collect your thoughts. Finally, remind yourself that the interview is also an opportunity for you to see if the company is a good fit for you. By focusing on preparation and self-care, you'll be better equipped to handle the interview with confidence.
