Interviews

I read many of the articles and found the ones i read to be very interesting and helpful. They answered any questions that i would ever have about going into an interview and knowing what to do. In one of the articles they were talking about if you were having an interview over the phone and what to do. They basically said that you should try and dress up in your suit and talk on the phone because it makes you feel as if you were actually sitting in someones office. Learning that was helpful because when i was younger, i actually had a interview over the phone, i know it was an important job but i would still have tried it. Another article was explaining how to deal with stress during an interview. That article was most helpful to me because i can nervous about interviews real easy sometimes. Hopefully when it is time for me to start taking interviews more seriously i can remember everything i learned reading these articles.

Etta, I read your post just now.

Re: interviews - techniques
I would add to the others' suggestions that while on the phone, don't fidget with articles on your desk, or wherever you are. If it is safe to do so, close your eyes. This may help reduce visual stimuli, and permit you more energy and attention for your thoughts, and your spoken language.

On a related note, when in your post you wrote "because i can nervous about interviews" it led me to guess that you might have used a speech recognition program to do that.
