I've got an interview this morning and am feeling pretty nervous and a little bit sick!
Someone said to me be yourself and you'll be fine but for those who know me being myself is perhaps not the best advice.
Cue last interview when after being introduced to the panel, I was offered a glass of water. I declined but one of the interviewers said, "Do you mind if I do?" He then proceeded to drop the jug of water which went everywhere including all down himself. Genius here says, "Bloody hell Alan, you look like you pissed yourself!"
I didn't get the job!
Do have any interview distasters that will cheer me up and perhaps inspire, motivate and help me realise that it's not just me who can be a numpty under pressure?!

Good luck, sure you will be fine. If they ask for references just show em your verifications!
My own interview fuck up: a team exercise to demonstrate negotiation skills. There are a politician, nurse, doctor, builder, mother and Child, scientist, lawyer and a biologist. But there are only 5 spaces in the nuclear bunker. Clever clogs here comes out With The idea (out loud) "so if we kill and eat the politician could we have a couple of extra spaces." No I didn't get the job. |

Oh I do an excellent application! I waffle at interview, say the wrong thing and then dig myself a hole trying to get out of it. However, it could be worse. At least they haven't developed telepathic interviews yet! |

A good tip at interview is to either take a bottle of water or get a drink when you are there accept the glass of water.
You can gain extra time before giving you're answer by taking a drink first |

OP had you asked me to recall all my fab meet disasters I could have offered a plethora of awkward and hilarious stories 
Professionally I'm pretty awesome and confident about what I have to offer.
It's important to be yourself and allow your personality to show whilst being professional, equally be confident without being arrogant. Just remember how awesome you are and how lucky they would be to have you
Good luck lovely lady I'll have my fingers crossed for you.

My most disastrous interview only lasted fifteen minutes and I got all three of the IT questions I was asked wrong.
Needless to say, I wasn't expecting to get the job...
I was still on my way home when I got a call from the agency saying I'd got it!
So, moral of the story: there's always hope!
Good luck! |

I once threatened to punch the guy interviewing me, and I got the job.
He said "Do you have a criminal record?"
I said "No, none at all".
"Are you sure?"
"Yes I'm sure"
"We can check you know"
"You can check all you like, I don't have a criminal record".
"That's unusual, a pipefitter with no record".
"I might have a criminal record in a minute if you don't ask another question".
Then the owner of the company who was sitting in but not said much up to this point said "This young man will do for me". |

Yes, I once farted in an interview in a small room. This wasn't just a smelly fart, it was possibly the worst fart in the history of the universe. The sort of fart that the bods at the Geneva Convention would have made a ruling on. The interviewer even got up to open a window. We both laughed at the absurdity of the situation.
I didn't get the job. |

I actually like interviews, it gives me chance to talk about how great I am.
My best advice:
D your research. ... know as much as you can about the company & the job.
Think of an interesting question or two to ask them, it shows you're interested.
Try to enjoy yourself, people like personality and character.

First time I went for a post-university interview they came into the room and said "sorry but we've lost the application forms, did you apply for the position of..." and at this point they listed 2 jargon heavy job titles that gave no indication to what the job actually was. I couldn't remember which I had applied for, so I guessed.
Got the job but hated it. |

Well that's that done. They'll let me know tomorrow whether I've got through to the second stage interview. I didnt embarrass myself this time (that I was aware of) so I guess it's just a wait and see job.
Thanks for all the words of encouragement and advice. You are all superstars.
Yeah even you Tina with your farts!

Congratulations.
My fingers are firmly crossed for you.
Top top for ten minute presentations, make it a little longer, you're bound to rush.
Make sure you can drop a bit out if you're on schedule.

On your 2nd interview don't do what I did at one of my first interviews for a job after I left college....I went for interview and it was a very attractive blonde lady interviewer, I thought interview went very well however just after leaving the building and waiting at the bus stop to catch bus home I realised my trouser flies were undone. Had probably been sitting there for whole interview with my flies open.
I didn't get the job, haha. |

I don't have an interview disaster but I did meet a guy from Fab for lunch in a posh Glasgow hotel before I went for an interview. We had met before and we went to the disabled loo for some fun.
Certainly stopped me from being nervous at the interview |
