It’s a good idea to do at least one mock interview before the real thing. Practice interviewing with a friend or family member ahead of time, and it will be much easier when you’re actually in a job interview.

Take the time to practice answering interview questions you will probably be asked. This will also help calm your nerves because you won’t be scrambling for an answer while in the interview hot seat.

Try to conduct the practice interview in the same format as the real interview.
For example, if it is a phone interview, ask a friend to call you to practice answering questions over the phone. If it is a panel interview, ask a couple of friends to pretend to be a panel.
