Tomorrow I have an interview at a big named company. This will be my follow-up interview (to meet the President of the company), and I'm trying to make sure I can lock down this job. I've already met with my supervisor and fellow (hopefully soon-to-be) teammates. Is there anything I can say to the Pres., that I haven't said to my supervisor that could further lock down my spot?

Lastly, what are your best relaxation techniques right before an interview? I am always quite nervous during this process.

>best relaxation techniques right before an interview?

- Assume the same approach as if you are talking to a stranger in a train or a flight, who you never gonna meet again. Smooth & Easy are the key.

- Instead of trying to say so many things, i prepare myself, what i think, are the 3 or 4 important things, that i want to convey before the end of an interview.

- So, whatever question they ask, i try to bring them to the arena where i know, and point out to the evidences that support my 3 or 4 vital points.

I am sure, many will chip in their ideas too.

Make a list of every question that might trip you up and prepare a well researched answer - even if they don't ask them, it does wonders for your confidence.

Listen and ask questions. Good questions.

Don't lie or bluff. If you don't know, say so. If you can't, do not say you can.

But, most important is to ask questions and listen carefully to what is said.

ALWAYS make the interview a two way conversation not an interrogation...I always work on the basis that an interview is where an employer and I decide if we can work together...over the decades I've twice failed to get a job I was interviewed for, and in both cases I didn't stand a chance once a far better qualified candidate decided they wanted the job...so I guess it works

Write a plan of what you will do in the job and present it informally to them in the interview.
