This afternoon my partner went home from work and he hugged me.And i was curious why.So i asked him what happened ,he said "He is nervous what is going to happen tomorrow in his job interview."
His working right now in schipol airport, after 8 years of working he got bored and he find his job as a daily routine and want some other things to do.So he decided to make solicitation to be a policemen for a very nice salary.And he grabbed the offer but then he still need to go on interview and examination,physical, and emotional,and mental.He is afraid and uneasy for tomorrow interview.
We lying down this afternoon and he is still afraid and he opened it for me..So i said Just relax trust your self that you can make it.Show them that you can do it.That you deserve that job that you can be head officer and you can manage it.I said show them how smart you are.And he asnwers ..Thats the problem i am not smart (LOL) he said.So i said then act like one.hahahaha

It's perfectly ok if we get nervous on an interview. 
It is more evident when you really want to get the job and if you really like it as well. It will almost always be more of the unexpected when it comes to the questions being asked but most likely will be factual and situational. It really wouldn't hurt to prepare. Know what the industry is and review the job description.
I just try to be casual. It really helps a lot. I am more confident in speaking to an interviewer and I just answer according to what I believe in. Most of them can tell if you're honest or not. Being honest goes a long way.
Physically though, it would be best to have a good sleep and rest. Eat well before going to an interview and dress appropriately and comfortably. I usually wear collared shirts and slacks. But I did go with jeans instead but I complimented it a lot with my shirt and shoe. Oh and I never forget to smile and look them in the eye.

Thats very good tips zeroflashx2..
.Your the best...yes smile can give more good impressions,and eyes can tell if you are lying or not lying thats why interviewer likes if the applicant look straight into thier eyes,w/ that they can see if you are sincere of liking that job.And clothing is also good First impressions has to be good and that you can get into your clothing..
I still remember my first interview that was when i was 18 year old and i am still studying then and very young.I was so scared and i dont really know what do to when i was in waiting room.I cannot sitted properly and my heart beats so fast.And when they called my name.And they said its your turn.I feel like i am going to marathon haha..But i did it nicely, its not so bad and i got the job.
.But right eversince i made some interviewing also to some other people whos finding a job well i understand that its not only the applicant get nervous but also interviewer.They are also afraid that they make some mistakes of asking the applicant something its not relevant to the job.

Wow! That's real good chej. You got it on the first try. Don't mention it. It just happened that I experienced interviews quite a lot and I had the chance to interview people as well. I didn't get the first job I applied to though. My English back then wasn't nearly as good as today. That was about 6 years ago. And yeah, when you're name gets called it's like you'll be in a war or something.
During the first few interviews, it's normal to look around at other applicant. Sometimes, we try to think what will they say or what will he/she do? But actually, when I'm in a room full of applicants, well, I just didn't mind. But if someone approaches me and starts a conversation, I will talk to them.
It's sometimes nice that even when you're still applicants, you get to know some of the other people as well. Oftentimes, they ask where they worked before, what company, what course, where do they live. And it's really a bit of help in the confidence field.

It's OK to get nervous and it's normal too. As far as I remember, I think I got nervous in all of my past job interviews. I think it's because I was part anxious and excited with a bit of fear to say the wrong words and worst, not saying what I really mean. All job applicants wants to please the interviewer and get the job, so no matter how confident you are, you get a little bit of nervousness especially when the interview is just starting..but usually after a couple of minutes, the nerves just settle down and you get at ease.
