You need to realize you're a valuable asset to the company you're applying for. You need to know this job would grow with someone as amazing as you, and that will show in your character during the interview and it'll show itself as confidence during the interview. I've landed every interview I've had since I've found that little secret and so can you. Just remember you rock and they need you!

Mentally prepare yourself for the interview by going through common questions that are asked, you can also try to do a ''high power pose'' right before the interview. A high power pose is a pose where you take up as much space as possible (try holding your hands up to the side for a couple of minutes), will make you feel more confident. Try to remember that you're there to offer them something, not the other way around. Your interview will go great!

When I've looked for positions before and particularly when I was offered an interview, I read as much as I could about the agency. What they do, what their policies are, what their community involvement is, their products or services, etc. Ask yourself questions such as if you were doing the hiring for this company, what kind of questions would you ask the interviewee, and then prepare for your interview by answering these questions that you've prepared to possibly be asked. Above all, let go of any attitude of I'll never get it. That can show in our tone of voice, and in our body language. Don't be afraid to be aware of your strengths and weaknesses. I've had more than one employer ask about my weaknesses and strengths. They wanted honesty, yet my ability to recognize my limitations and assets.

Study the company and learn their unique culture. Always go to the interview prepared with resume/portfolio in hand and prepare questions to ask them ahead of time. Remember that you are interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you!

Consider how you'll explain problematic aspects of your career, such as gaps in your work history. Identify the skills, interests and experiences that the organisation is looking for by looking at its website and social media channels.

Be prepared, be well-groomed, be polite to everyone. In addition to being qualified for a position, employers or other interviewers look for candidates who have interpersonal skills. That doesn’t mean you have to be an extrovert but it does mean you should exercise consideration for those around you. A personal rule I loke to follow is: Early is on time. On time is late. Late is unacceptable.

You need to check the company that you are getting in to, their history, success, and downfalls, prepare for the question, practice alone, and review the job description you are applying into. It is paramount that you get enough sleep before you go to an interview, lack of sleep will make your mind sloppy. Eat healthy food in the morning. Relax and don't get nervous before or during interview, act normal but not too confident. Nervous makes your mind panicky and most of the time sloppy. Start your day with optimism and smile and don't be afraid. "I can do it!".

One of the things I've noticed when entering the reality of jobs is that standards are of maximum importance. What do I mean by this? As the majority of people is always afraid, they start pretending they are something they are not, and my advice for you is to be yourself instead. Talk with enthusiasm with the things you love the most, share your perspective on things and how you feel. Ultimately, people don't want a robot, and if you allow yourself not to be afraid and actually have standards by cultivating some respect for others while not neglecting your own right to an opinion or anything else, then there's nothing for you to worry about.

Read and ask people about the company and position you are interviewing for. Practice some questions with yourself or with someone, but be ready for unpredicted questions - try to always be positive, grateful, and motivated in your answers. Dress adequately, sleep, and eat well in the days before the interview. Show up 10 minutes before the interview (don't be late! But showing up too early is not good either). If you are late, try to contact the interviewer ahead of time. Try to smile naturally, and speak in a clear manner. Ask questions about the job if you have any - this shows you are interested in the job. Good luck!
