Everyone gets nervous during interviews, but how a candidate handles the nerves will determine if he or she lands the job. In a job interview, you must sell yourself by highlighting your skills and experiences while displaying confidence. This might seem like an impossible task for a nervous young professional or recent college graduate looking for employment. After graduation, I had a hard time suppressing my nerves during my first couple of interviews. I manifested all of the classic nervous symptoms; my palms would get sweaty, my face and chest would turn red, and I would overthink every question. By allowing my nerves to take over, I subconsciously sabotaged my chances of advancing to the next round. After having a few interviews under my belt and searching the Internet for interview tips, I learned how to conquer my nerves and land my first job.
