Do a crossword or a mind-puzzle
Light some secented candles
Meditate
Any of the above.It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.
Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.0 -
Try and stay calm, make sure youre ready, get there early, even if you sit outside so you're not panicing on the way there, nothing worse than being late to up your stress levels.
Good luck, let us know how it goes

imagine yourself actually doing the job try to be as confident as you can and channel all your nervous energy into making sure you are well prepered, look smart and know what you need to do and say.
Have you practised some questions ~ i had loads of interviews last year and my family thought it was halrious when i walked around talking to myself :rolleyes:Proud to be Dealing with my Debts

just take deep breathes, it will calm you down, as it has laready been said turn up early, because the stress caused when your late will not help, i suggest that when you arrive, you make confisation about your journey, even if its not true it sometimes settles you to just talk about something non-job related, the likely hood is that the interviewer will make you feel secure, just be calm and articulet. Good LuckSTP Genre 5 earnings= £28.510

Remember to interview them as well - you might really want a job, but make sure this is the right one for you.
Remember they are only people. I often watch my clients interviewing and they are more nervous than the person being interviewed (they just don't let on!)
Make them like you by finding common ground. People give jobs to people they like. Skills you can train, personality you can't.
Ask them at the end of the interview if they have any concerns about progressing you to the next stage - this shows how interested you and also gives you the chance to allay any concerns they might have about you. If you don't ask, they'll be left with those concerns and it could stop you getting the job.
Good luck! You obviously want it and enthusiasm is a very positive quality.0 -
