Ive had the most amazing few days when its come to job searching and I have a interview on Weds, its a massive company with offices all over the world and if im honest I feel a bit out of my depth; I know i can do the actual job but im still nervous as hell!
Does anyone have any interview advice which they could offer me? I completely suck at interviews (or if you could do the interview for me that would be even better lol!)

Well done on securing the interview. Without knowing what the job is I can't give specific advice but some generic tips
Research the company- have they secured any big new contracts recently, any other big news on them, who are their competitors?
Have some examples of when you have over come problems at work, worked in a team etc.
Make sure you have a few questions ready to ask. Good ones are things like how do you assess peoples performance? The kind of induction offered?"It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice." :T0 -
get your interview outfit sorted, try it all on and make sure it's all pristine, and that your shoes are comfy.
Then get togged up, look at yourself in the mirror and practice some questions: even "What makes you think you can do this job?"
And breathe deeply, and good luck ...Signature removed for peace of mind0 -
try to do something to stand out from the crowd, as part of my work I get to sift through applicants for jobs at the company and read the notes - im surprised when I see high calibre candidates not get the job - they have qualifications/experience etc but the person who gets the job is the one who has shown confidence and looks like they will get on with the culture of the workplace / fit in with others. Try to stand out and even if your nervous try your best not to show it.0
