Chris Rea, business manager at Graduate Prospects, conceded that attending an interview can be a worrying event for some people, but advised them not to let their nerves show.
'A confident candidate puts the interviewer at ease and helps create the conditions for a productive dialogue. Don't forget that interviewers can be apprehensive too,' he commented.
Mr Rea added that candidates should practice responding to common interview questions and giving a short presentation before the big day, in order to further banish any nerves they may be experiencing.
In addition, the expert recommended that applicants ensure they present themselves well, stressing the importance of having clean fingernails and making sure remnants of food are not caught between the teeth.
Earlier this month, Greg Huffman wrote on Helium.com that holding a mock interview with friends can allow candidates to better prepare for meeting with potential employers.
