Once again, the key to being successful at this stage of the job hunt is to stop thinking like a job hunter and start thinking like the recruiter.

You've already beaten anything from 50-95% of the opposition to get this far.

Time to re-evaluate in a positive frame of mind.

Do you know why you got the interview?
What do you think impressed them on your CV? 
Re-check everything you know about the company and about the job and start listing where you match their requirements - and where you don't. Keep researching right up to the last minute.
Remember - they think you can do this job!
What makes you a solid candidate for this position? - build a list of likely questions and how you will deal with them.
Decide on your clothing and make sure everything is immaculate well in advance of the interview itself.
If you have been foolish enough to lie on your application, then you are right to be nervous about the interview process.
If you have been honest so far, you really don't have anything to worry about.

Watch out for our regular slots:
