text: help! any tips? i have a college interview on friday and it's my first interview ever! i'm so nervous, i don't know what to expect. can you give me any tips; any dos and don'ts? what will they as me? is there any unmentioned dress code? when i go in do i have to shake their hand? as you can see i have no idea, please help me! i don't know what the questions will be as i don't know what the course is, and probably wouldn't have a clue even if i did, however, interveiw tips i can do:  - do go in and shake their hands, it is polite and confident. - use good eye contact, not overly much as that can seem agressive, but make sure you look at them when answering questions - no eye contact at all looks deceitful or shifty. - give yourself time to answer questions, they are not going to mind if you take a couple of secs  to answer as it shows you are thinking about what you say (not great long pauses a minute long though). - make sure your voice is audible and clear - don't mumble or rush too much. - dress smartly - as it is college i don't think you need to go the whole business suit type route, but not jeans or sportswear - just something smart casual. - do prepare beforehand - you wouldn't be applying if you didn't know a little something about the subject you want to study , so just make sure you read around it and have a think about your other interests outside the academic as well, as that will show you to be a well rounded person. - and lastly - dont panic!  stay calm and be yourself!  i wish you all the luck in the world i'm sure you'll do great.
