To stay calm. Don't be nervous. There are various things you can do, prayers to recite, breathing exercise you can do to keep calm. The time before the interview is very important. Get to the company early so you can relax for a little while. While you may use the time to rehearse some things you might say in your mind, but don't overlook the importance of relaxing. Read some prayers that will help take your mind off the interview and ask God to help you say and do what is right. That way, when you enter the interview room, your attitude will have a good first impression and you'll be better able to answer questions and talk about your qualifications and skills. Finally, always be truthful in an interview. Never lie. Even if you must say you have no experience, go right ahead and do so instead of lying. Be sure to talk about any skills you attained through volunteer work, course /academic projects, community service, or even at home doing chores for your family. Maybe babysitting your siblings gave you patience and quick-thinking skills that the interviewer might find just right for the work environment.
