I can relate! I used to hate interviewing. But I've learned some great tips that really work:
Remember - YOU are interviewing them too! It's not just if They like You!...it's also about if You like Them at all!! We tend to give the interviewer All the power in the situation, when that is not realistic. We have Half of the power in interviewing.
also - even if you don't believe in "God".... we all know there is some spiritual reality in this world - some kind of 'destiny' or fate, or karma, Divine Intelligence, etc. etc......... My point is: if it is Meant to be, that you are going to get this job, then You Will.
simple as that. You can burp, forget to turn off your cellphone, trip walking into their office, and you Will get the job, cuz it was just Meant to Be. On the other hand, you could be Beyond Brilliant in every answer, and Not get the job, cuz That is what is in the stars for you........... does that make sense? It's true.
Lastly - Look up Mike Dooley, and subscribe to his daily emails. He is the best advocate of positive thinking I have ever seen. He is brilliant in reminding us that we basically Get what we Expect in Life. fact. If you Expect to probably get this job, you very likely will! If you do not - then it was not the right job for you (true) and there is the Right job for you, just down the road.
Positive thinking! Coach yourself! Talk to yourself in your head, as you would a good friend that you wanted to support
Good luck!
