I have a promotional interview tomorrow and I'm quiet nervous about it. Any ideas to make me feel more comfortable or advise on how to keep my calm? I know what my job involves, people frequently ask me for advice on the job but still I feel nervous...

I added some karma/ good luck boosters for my peace of mind...
So please boost my karma xD

Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks everyone for the advice, the karma boosts,... It went extremely well!

I find the best advice for myself is to just try to relax and be yourself. No need to stress out or try to act different. All of your hard work and training have gotten you to this point, so you can rely on that experience and be confident that you're ready for anything. It's just a conversation, after all. :)

Convince yourself you know exactly what you're doing in your job and you don't really care about the promotion. And/or, watch this and get pumped up: https://youtu.be/Ks-_Mh1QhMc

If you know your stuff, then you will have no problem. Go to bed earlier, do not drink much coffee tomorrow and be calm. Good luck tomorrow laurens87. :)

I'm more in the "need advice" column than the "give advice" column on this subject, so all I can do is wish you luck. And bump this topic to the top, of course!

Hehe ... this is an old trick. Just imagine the person in front of you being naked. You'll feel relaxed. In the worst case ... it will make you giggle a bit :)

Remember S.T.A.R.: situation, task, action, and result. Tell them a story of your work. 1. Give some background 2. Explain what needed to be done 3. Describe the steps YOU did (don't be over modest here, you're the hero here) 4. Conclude with how it all worked out emphasizing how you benefited the company.

Good luck.

errr uhhmm..
well i'm assuming you've earned it, and you're a good employee who deserves it, just keep those things in mind (assuming they're true) and keep your confidence and all should go smoothly. xD
GL! =) & TY

The only advice I can give is to try not thinking about it until you get to the interview, to prevent overthinking about what you want to say. That and listening to some music that makes you relax while walking to the interview. At least that helps me.
In any way, good luck with the interview!
