    How many people are you seeing? Do you have any tests to do when there?

    Have both jobs said it will be an hour or expect to be there up to one hour?

    A little nerves is good, expected and understandable. Don't worry too much though the majority of an interview is about YOU - something you're an expert on.

    Have a couple of questions ready for them, take a good look at both companies websites if they have them too - a little knowledge will help you in answering.

    If they haven't already told you, your final question should be "When should I expect to hear back from you?"

    Good Luck.

    EDIT: They won't last an hour and don't let that worry you either :)

    Different jobs I know, but I have had interviews that have lasted about 1.5 hours, so they may do

    Sure we all have... but unless they are going to say clean those toilets or read numbers 1 to 90 out clearly. I can't see it happening for either of those jobs.

    My point was don't think the worst if you are out within half an hour, it is no indication whether you have got the role or not. Ten minutes however......
