First, let me start by saying you may be nervous, anxious, panicked, fidgety, sick, or all-of-the-above. That’s completely normal, and we’ve all experienced the same nerves. You’re in good company, too, because I’m a nervous wreck before every interview I’ve had. I distinctly remember puking my guts out in my hotel room just before my Hulu interview. But, you know what, that’s less common and kind of gross, but also normal. To overcome these nerves, you can set yourself up for success by being prepared beforehand.

If the interview loop is over a video call, ensure you have a solid internet connection and your camera and mic are working. The last thing you need is a technical issue to exacerbate an already stressful experience. If your interview loop is on-site and in-person, make sure you’ve had a good night’s rest and a hearty breakfast to get the brain juices flowing. Consider performing a morning stretch and meditate before your interview as well. It helps me, so it might help you too.
