The most stressful part of the job search process is the interview process. It's like going on a blind date. You are wondering if they will like you and worrying whether you will like them. Are there ways of minimizing this stress?
The most important aspects in the interview process are being prepared and showing confidence. You have to show them that you can do the job they are interviewing you for. Being prepared for the interview will add to your confidence. Show them you are excited about the opportunity. Maintain eye contact, provide a firm (dry) handshake and smile appropriately (don't maintain a silly side grin throughout the interview). Realize that the interviewer will not hire the most qualified candidate. They will hire the candidate they like the best. The person they feel they can communicate with and will work best on their team.

No silly wide grin? That leaves Andrea out. Breathe. You'll do fine.
