If possible, have a friend, family member, or coach conduct a "mock interview" with you. The goal isn't to memorize your answers; it's to get comfortable with the situation and to get feedback on how you present yourself. If no one else is available, talk to yourself in the mirror! You may feel a little silly, but it can be a good way to make see how you present yourself--how your posture, body language, and any fidgety/nervous habits appear. _________________ Resume to Referral Resume and Career Services http://www.resumebycprw.com Another thing to do is to rehearse the interview.

I agree with all points made; and, suggest that the "right job" is more important than "any job" - even in these times; perhaps, even more in these (or any) time. If you're not in the "right job", you and your (potential) employer are not a good match; and, subsequently, both you and your employer might (eventually) be miserable with/to each other; and, that stems from that first interview.
