I'm up for a job at my university where I would be working the orientations. My interview is one week from today and I'm nervous as hell. Any advice for me? (For the interview and also for stress/nerves management)
.Research their company.
They may ask something about their company and to show you care, you should be able to answer it.
.Know answers to the obvious questions.
Mentally prepare answers to questions like "tell me about yourself." or "tell me about a time when..." That way you won't lag and freak out.
.Research their company.
They may ask something about their company and to show you care, you should be able to answer it.
.Make your answers around what they're looking for in an employee.
If they want someone outgoing, make sure to brag about how outgoing and friendly you are. Obviously don't lie though.
.Be around 10-15 mins early.
Being early looks good.

Yeah, honestly do not listen to my advice. I'm waaaaaaaaayyyyy too casual and laid back to do any of this ^-^
Everyone besides me have spot on advice
All great tips. One thing I would like to add is that they will most likely ask you what your flaws are/what you can improve on. Try to think of what your answer would be so that you're not stalling. And then try to turn it into a positive or say that you have been working to improve it by doing such and such. Good luck!!
There's already a lot of good information from others. I would add to ask questions. Remember that you're also interviewing them to see if the job is a right fit for you. If you get a bad vibe or get an inappropriate interviewer, don't ignore it.
congrats
