These are all great tips! Why dont interviewers take into consideration the stressful circumstances of a job interview? The candidate is merely human too.

this world is fucked up. i followed your exact advises and got screwed up. In interviews, they want you to be unreal and flawless, they even want you to fake that you are happy and excited. I hate the interviews part, its just lame.

Keeping eyes in one spot is really hard for me, same with sitting still. But, of problems that I think is one the biggest I have is the handshake. I can't stand handshakes and get angsiaty (Sp) attack almost.

Also, what of those interviewers when comes to handshakes that seem to have the hand crush type shake. I've encountered a hand full of these guys/gals. One older lady actually was hard enough that she left deep imprints for a bit in my skin (later I found she had actually cracked another lady's hand with that grip). Or this thick texan like guy trying to do the same, I became rather angry at it and told him off with him laughing at me about being a "MAN". Obviously I didn't get that job, but glad I didn't seeings he was a whole level of jerk. I do find fairly often men that seem to try and go for hard of squeeze as they possibly can and I find it sometimes all I can do to keep my hand from not collapsing down in their grips.

I answered all the questions 100% correctly but I couldn't stop waving my hands around. It's really difficult not to use my hands, even if I hold my hands together. HELP !
