Going to a job interview can be a stressful situation for many. The best way to help relieve this stress is to maintain a positive attitude and be prepared. Here are 10 things you can do to make your job interview a successful one and as stress-free as possible:

Be positive

Be ready for the questions you will likely be asked. Think of the answers you want to give.

Know why you want to work for the firm. Do your best to obtain information about the company before the interview.

Know about the job. What likely duties and responsibilities will go with the position?

Know what you have to offer -- what training you have had and what you have done that make you ideal for this position.

Be prepared to give names, addresses and phone numbers of references.

Have your resumé up to date and take it with you.

Make sure you can get there on time. Know where you are going and how long it will take you to get there. Go there once before your interview if possible so you are sure of the route.

Allow at least one hour for the interview. Don't make any appointments for right after the interview.

Get enough sleep. Be clean and neat. Prepare your clothes the night before.
