Pre-interview nerves are perfectly normal but with some preparation you can minimise those nerves.An interest in the position and the organisation you are being interviewed for is key. Potential employers like to see that you have some knowledge about what the company does and how the job role fits into this company.

Potential employers are looking at how you will fit in with the company’s current employees, the company’s philosophy and work ethics, and the role that company plays within its specific marketplace. By knowing how a company has operated over the years will give you the opportunity to tailor your answers based on what you know about yourself and what you know about the company.

Many companies have a strong team-working ethics, they prefer to have employees working together to achieve a common goal rather than working alone which can lead to communication difficulties. If this is the impression you get from your pre-interview research and from the information given in the job specification, it is important that you prepare yourself with information about your team accomplishments. Whilst it shows good self-motivation when you have made sole accomplishments, a company may be more interested in what you can do whilst working as part of a team if that is how they have better productivity.

It is important to know about the products and services of the company, particularly if you are interested in a sales position. Your interviewer will be impressed you have taken the time to research the information and it will add marks on your assessment. 

As you do some research about the company you can also compile a questions list of your own which you can ask during the interview. By asking questions about the job you have applied for or about the company, you are showing a positive initiative.During the interview you may find that any questions you had pre-prepared have all been answered. This is fine, if you are asked if you have any questions just let the interviewers know that all the questions you had have been answered.

Before the interview it is sometimes good to practice the interview process with a friend or in your head. Practice the answers you are likely to give to key interview questions about the position you are applying for. Think about and practice how you would respond calmly and confidently. Many interviewers will ask you to give examples of real life scenarios where you may have been in a position of responsibility or under pressure of a deadline, etc. Think about what situation you will use in this scenario and how you will describe it to the interviewer. A confident and knowledgeable manner is important when answering your questions and try not to be too evasive with your answers.
